Summary: Incorrect behaviour of gutter in mirrored pages with
top binding
Product: LibreOffice

3 pages intended for duplex printing and top binding
Gutter is some space reserved for binding. It is removed from usable area of
page to make sure no element would be hidden by the binding device.
Common documents are bound on left. However there are special cases where
binding is at top. Gutter is then positioned at top.
Pages may also be duplex printed. Then page style layout is selected as
"Mirrored". It is expected that with the indication of top gutter, Writer will
understand the intent and reverse top and bottom margins and also distribute
alternatively gutter at top and bottom of pages.
Presently, right pages get their gutter at top while left pages have no gutter
at all (see attachment). Note also that top and bottom margins are still
considered rigidly as top and bottom instead of close to binding and far from
binding.
Everything works fine in the traditional configuration of left gutter with
mirrored layout (the gutter alternates between sides, always positioned at
inner edge, near the binding).
A possible workaround is to separate left and right pages to set differently
top and bottom margins, integrating the gutter into margin measurement. But
this is rather troublesome since the gutter setting was provided to avoid using
separate page styles.
