----------
Master document: three trivial placeholder opening pages; 7 linked documents.
All documents (master and subdocuments) use the same, quite basic, template.
Issue:
On opening the master document (and answering yes to updating links) the total
page count (bottom left corner looks far too high: 131. On scrolling through,
the first few pages look OK, but then there are frequent page breaks, not in
the original. Subsequent pages are often then much reduced, sometimes just a
single line.
Naturally this is alarming. But then when I click "Toggle Formatting Marks",
that overall page count drops to 54 (which feels about right). And scrolling
through now looks OK. (I haven't checked every word of every page!)
Whether the initial "Toggle Formatting Marks" is on or off seems to make no
difference. It opens in this odd state with multiple instances of what I
assume are inserted page breaks (or similar visual effect) and far too many
pages. Toggling it to the opposite value seems to fix things.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. as described above: master doc + subdocs on same basic template
2. open: see lots of additional page-breaks
3. toggle "Toggle Formatting Marks": see problem fix itself
Actual Results:
Initial opening: far too many pages, as though many additional page-break (or
similar) have been inserted.
Expected Results:
Should open correctly first time, not require unintuitive (and presumably
unrelated) operation of "Toggle Formatting Marks".
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Open correctly.
