Priority: medium
Bug ID: 57158
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: It is impossible to use the same page style for more
than 1 page unless they are the last pages of the
document
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.5.3 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
How to reproduce:
1- Create a 3 pages or more Writer document (e.g. let's insert 5 page breaks in
an empty document)
2- Now, open the Page Styles window, all pages should be 'Default'
3- Try to set the first two pages to 'First Page' (or any other page style)
while keeping the last 3 to 'Default'.
Here is what happens: by default, First Page's 'Next Style' is 'Default'. That
means applying it to the first page works.
The problem is, if you now try to apply the page style to the second page, the
Page Styles window highlights 'First Page' as if that was the page style of the
second page, but after clicking and the third page and back, it is clear the
page style is still Default.
Visually, one can modify the two page styles to each have a different
background color to see the page style of page 2 is never changed.
This is a bug that, AFAIK, is present since I switched from OOo.
It is also quite problematic because, for example, when I author a 10 pages
document (First Page (x1), Index (x1), Default (all other pages)) it works,
until I have to flip a page (page 8 for example) to the Landscape page style
(because I have a wide image to insert there). I can't do that since I either
can't apply the Landscape style or it is applied to all subsequent pages.
The only "workaround" I can think of would be to create a page style for each
page and specify the page style of the next page in 'Next Style'. Which is
obviously a terrible idea and negates the whole purpose of styles.
I have also tried just changing page 8's orientation to landscape through
right-click->page->Page tab, but it changes the Style's orientation...
