--- Comment #16 from ajlittoz <[email protected]> ---
Rereading carefully the "bug" description, I think there is a logic flaw in the
use case.

The intent is to have an alternating frame on every page (in the outer margin).
Considering this repetition, the frame should be anchored TO PARAGRAPH in the
header or footer.

Anchor it TO PAGE requests a SINGLE insertion in the designated page. Therefore
any alternating specification, like "Mirror", does not make sense because the
insertion won't be repeated. There is no need to keep such configuration
settings because they won't be reused.

When correctly configured (mainly anchor mode), a frame alternates as expected.

IMHO there is no bug but a (very common) misunderstanding about To Page anchor.
Most users don't make a difference between anchor and position. They don't
realise they can sent a frame anywhere in the page, no matter the anchor mode
(except of course As Character).

I suggest to close report as NOTABUG or perhaps NEEDINFO so that original
reporter can argument about the choice of To Page anchor (requiring manual
addition on every page).
