Summary: footer affect by header settings in ODT and DOCX
formats
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED

ODT describing and exhibiting the problem. LO4.0.4.2 properly sees two
different footers, but 4.1.1.2+ sees the odd page footer for both pages.
If you create a footer with different content for left and right pages, upon
re-opening the document, the odd page footer is seen on both pages. I think
the problem might be related to the header settings, since changing those will
also affect the footer.
Simplest steps to reproduce: create a two page document with a footer. Format
the footer and turn off "Same content left/right", and create two different
footers. Save document as .odt or .docx. When you open it again, you will see
the same (odd page) footer on all pages.
Workarounds:
1.) also create a header that also turns off "same content left/right"
2.) save as .doc format
3.) in certain instances, setting page properties - Page tab - Page layout:
mirrored (instead of the default Right and Left) has helped - but not always.
It doesn't seem to work once the problem has already been seen.
Changing the header settings will affect the footer. For example, so far the
header has been disabled. If you "enable" the header (but leave "same content
left/right" enabled), then you will immediately see that the even footer is
replaced by the odd footer. Turning off the header will similarly "remove" the
even footer.
I'm not sure when this bug was introduced, but it does not exist in 4.0.4.2.
It existed in 4.1.1.2 and still exists in 4.1.2.3. A very similar bug is
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69635. I mentioned this problem as
a comment already in a somewhat similar bug <a
href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68418";>68418</a>, but I'm
creating this new bug report since the details are different, and that report
is targeting the next release instead of being a regression. I'm marking this
as somewhat important since it affects documents created with the default
settings (Page format: left and right pages).
