I have never had this problem and have never had the need to create
sections. Maybe it's because I always use page styles alternating
from right page to left page and back. For instance, I begin a book
with a page style called "Title", marked as right page only and set
the next page style to "Copyright". I set the Copyright style to
left page only and the next style as FrontMatterRight. I set the
FrontMatterRight style to right page only and next style as
FrontMatterLeft and set the FrontMatterLeft style to left page only
and next style to FrontMatterRight. This puts me in a loop, and to
break out of the loop I insert a manual page break and check the
option to change the style.
Isn't what you describe exactly creating sections (even if you call
it "page break with changing style" or whatever)?
No. Sections (it's a specific term) are something else in
LibreOffice. They can have their own settings for columns,
backgrounds, footnotes, and so on, and so are a convenient way of
changing those properties within a document. But in general they can
start and finish within pages and they can also span pages, so they
cannot be related to page styles. If you don't mean by "sections"
what LibreOffice means by sections, you will confuse your readers.
Incidentally, it's possible that you are thinking of Microsoft Word's
"sections", which are rather different: those are unfortunately named
section *breaks* and more akin to LibreOffice's manual page breaks
with a change of page style.
