Summary: Page Number Format is not Retained in TOC & Other

Product: LibreOffice

Simple Example
Ubuntu 14.04 x64
LibreOffice 4.3.2.2 release
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open writer
2. Insert footer ("default style")
3. Insert -> Field -> Page Number
Observed: Page number appears as 1
4. Highlight the 1
5. Right click on highlighted 1
6. Left click on "fields..."
7. Select (Roman i,ii,iii)
Observed: 1 changes to i
8. Select main body of page (left click on main body outside of footer)
9. Write some text, highlight the text and push ctrl + 1
Observed: Text becomes header style 1
10. Insert -> Indexes and Tables -> Index and Tables... -> Push Ok in dialog
Observed: You get a table of contents but the page number is shown as 1 instead
of i.
Expected: Page should reflect the style of the page number on the page if a
page number in fact exists.
This is particularly problematic when you have multiple page styles and you
have pages i,ii,iii..... and then you restart the page numbering with regular
page numbering (ie. 1,2,3,4) because you can't distinguish between page i and
page 1 which are not the same.
This also affects all the other kinds of indexes - for lawyers this can be a
problem when trying to use LibreOffice for something like a table of
authorities: http://www.law.indiana.edu/front/etc/section-215-amicus-8.pdf (see
page 4 of that pdf to get an example of what one of these look like)
Attachments:
1. Simple example showing the issue.
2. More complex example showing how things can become more erroneous when using
multiple styles.
