Bug ID: 149480
Summary: text:page-adjust behaves wrong when page number is
defined manually
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
In a new text document:
1. Add two page breaks (so that the document has three pages);
2. Edit the last page break, to define page style (the same Default) and page
number (1);
3. Add a footer to Default page style;
4. Add a Page Number field, a text " and the next is ", and another Page Number
field to the footer text; the second Page Number field should have Offset set
to 1.
Using of Version: 7.3.4.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 13668373362b52f6e3ebcaaecb031bd59a3ac66b
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (ru_RU); UI: en-US
Calc: CL Jumbo
The end result is:
First page has footer text "1 and the next is 2"
Second page has footer text "2 and the next is 3"
Third page has footer text "1 and the next is 2"
Note the ODF description of the feature provided in bug 35694 comment 39; the
current text is at [1].
Two problems here:
1. Second page must show "2 and the next is 1";
2. Third page must show "1 and the next is " (there must be no number after
"is").
Rationale:
The feature is meant to refer to previous or following pages, not to do
arithmetic operations with current page number. The wording makes sure to tell
about "display of page numbers of following or preceding pages", i.e., the
offset is used to get to some page before or after, but the display must
reflect the target page number as it is defined on that page.
This means that on page 2, the next page is the third one - and that page must
be found using the offset; then that third page's number (i.e., "1") must be
displayed.
On the third page, the offset must result in an absent next page, and the
display must be empty, as specified by the standard.
