--- Comment #13 from Zenaan Harkness <[email protected]> ---
Matthew (comment #11), I understand what you are saying.

However, the implied bug here is that there ought be an intuitive way to "undo"
the "reset page numbering" for "actual page 2" (which has been changed to
'reset page number' to begin at 1).

For example, although this may be difficult/ impossible from the:
Format -> Title page...
dialog, I would have thought that this undo feature --would-- be available from
the:
Format -> Page...
dialog, at the very least - perhaps on the Page tab or the Footer tab. But it
does not appear there.

- selecting and Right-clicking the page number field added to the footer, also
does not present an alternative to undo this "reset page numbering"

- trying to re-apply the second page 'page style' (in my test document case,
"Default Style" by putting cursor on page 2 and double clicking the "Default
Style" page style does not reset the page number to 2

- right-clicking on page style "Default Style" to try to under the "reset page
number" of the manual page break also does not provide such an undo option.

- clicking the pilcrow ("paragraph marker" symbol) in the toolbar does not show
any "page break" symbol that could be selected and right-clicked

What -does- work though was my final test:
- navigate cursor to start of page 2
- press BACKSPACE once (removing the existing page break)
- now re-insert a new Insert -> Manual break..., choose appropriate style, and
(obviously) do not choose "Change page number"

This may not be obvious to newcomers.

Perhaps this bug should be marked as something like:
UI "Format -> Page..." dialog should provide an option somewhere to undo
"Change page number" if that was applied in the Manual break... dialog.
