           Summary: The break to paragraph (being a line) or linked to
                    paragraph content
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer

Description:
The break to paragraph (being a line) or linked to paragraph content

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attached file
2. Place cursor before the yellow H and press Enter
3. CTRL+Z
4. Press cursor before the red Z and press Enter
5. CTRL+Z
6. Select Zello
7. CTRL+C
8. Paste it below Text Bla bla bla (new page inserted). Same happens with drag
drop
9. CTRL+Z
10. Paste it next to Text bla bla bla (no new page)
11. CTRL+Z
12. Select Hello on the first line
13. CTRL+X
14. Paste it below Text bla bla (a new line will be inserted)
15. CTRL+Z CTRL+Z
16. Select line Text bla bla
17. Drag it up after Zello
18. Drag it down again -> Page added
19. CTRL+Z
20. Press Enter Before Text bla bla (no new page)
21. CTRL+A
22. CTRL+X -> Page still around.. while content gone
23. Press Enter once
24. CTRL+V -> Paste onto a new page

Actual Results:
The page break concept is mixed. It appears to be 'attached to the line itself
(say step 22) as being related the content (say step 8). Not only the first
line.. but full paragraph 

The paragraph setting gets 'lost' when adding a new line (pressing Enter) and
moving content down.
While paragraph Break setting it suggests to be 'attached to the paragraph' not
the first line on the page. Which is apparently the case.. because pressing
"Enter" ad the start of the first line (on second page) drops the break
setting' (and all other settings, like background color don't do this)

Also Insert -> More breaks -> Manual breaks 'suggest' that Break is unrelated
to paragraph 

On the other hand isn't it possible to 'say' this paragraph should start on a
'Landscape page' if the current page isn't landscape page.. If it is a
landscape page.. no 'break is needed' (I sometimes assumed this was the idea
behind Text Flow Break. 

The paragraph Text Flow Break feels to me like an ordinary page break linked to
the paragraph content in a quirky way.





Expected Results:
I personally don't see the advantage of having 'text flow' paragraph break
settings (in the current implementation) as paragraph setting. There is no
advantage of doing that.. and works pretty unpredictable. 

Something else is of course this content should be on a page with X page style
(if not break.. insert a new page etc).


Reproducible: Always
