            Bug ID: 112035
           Summary: Set the left and right page styles, but pages display
                    left style on the right, right style on the left.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.2.7.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
I dumped out of scribus because it doesn't work.  Finishing a three hundred
page book in Libreoffice Writer.  I've set the page styles for right and left,
because when build a pdf for publication, that's utterly important.  (Recto and
verso)

So as I review the book, needing the right side pages to display to the right
of the left pages, the pages are reversed.  This is because I start with a
right page, and by default, the first pages is displayed in the first spot,
which in this case, is the left.

Now, I could put a blank page before the right page, as a clumsy hack, but I'd
rather it just work the way it is supposed to work, that when a page is styled
right, it always display to the right of a page styled left.

If we could add a "bumper" page, that is for display logistics only, that would
be nice.

Thank all of you for the work you do.

David

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set first page to right page style, cause that's what you do for a book.
2. Following pages automatically toggle left/right/left/....  as they should.
3. Arrange window to fit pages side by side (in this case 6"x9" page size), and
they are backwards, putting right styled pages onto the left side.

Actual Results:  
1. Set first page to right page style, cause that's what you do for a book.
2. Following pages automatically toggle left/right/left/....  as they should.
3. Arrange window to fit pages side by side (in this case 6"x9" page size), and
they are backwards, putting right styled pages onto the left side.

Expected Results:
I expect the right styled page(s) to display on the right side of the left
styled pages.  Not a crazy thing.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
For something this apparent, I expected to find something that fixed it.  I did
not, so I'm raising the issue here.  Its just a flat out failure.  Layout
sensitive, yes, but a failure just the same.
