Hello!

In that case, I think there should be an enhancement request, e.g. 

Page 1 / 2   1 / 3
Page 2 / 2   3 / 3

The page count should display both cases. This will certainly be less confusing.

At present, the page count is:

Page 1 / 3

Page 1      3 / 3



I agree that the PDF option
"Export automatically inserted blank pages"

makes the three pages.

Regards,

C. H. D.

Sorry, but you misunderstand me. What I am saying is that everything you see is 
by design, and will not be seen as a bug: Writer still sees three pages, even 
if you choose to print only two of these.

That's because the same option is controlled separately for exporting to PDF. 
The PDF Options dialogue, which you see when you use File | Export as PDF..., 
has, at the foot of the General tab, a separate "Export automatically inserted 
blank pages" tick box. Yours must currently be unticked. Writer thinks that if 
you print that exported PDF document double-sided, you will need that extra 
page - to ensure that your second significant page prints on the front of the 
second sheet, not on the reverse of the first.

I suppose that there is no simple answer to this which takes account of both 
single- and double-sided printing in an intuitive fashion.  But there's no bug, 
I think.
