Bug ID: 150913
Summary: Writer: Spurious page break when forcing page style
and resetting page number
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer

Unexpected inserted blank page
Attachment shows an unexpected blank page inserted when requested page number
is not consistent with current page parity, e.g. page break requests odd page
number and current page is already odd (same with even number and even page).
Document is configured in book mode so that the inserted blank pages are
visible.
This behaviour has already been report as bug 117231 and bug 137035. They were
waved away with WONTFIX on the ground that odd numbers always designate right
pages (even is for left pages).
This is true if we print duplex. But there are cases where document is designed
and printed for single side. In this case, page parity is irrelevant.
Presently there is no way to tell Writer that document is intended for
single-sided printing so that constraints are relaxed and page count reflects
the true number of real pages (no automatically inserted blank pages). The
possibility to not-print inserted blank pages does not solve all issues,
notably the count of pages reported by the field.
More generally, there is no way to inform Writer about the physical properties
of the final document.
The use of Left Page and Right Page page styles is not a clear indication as we
can use Default Page Style also for duplex-printed documents when we don't want
different layouts for facing pages.
