            Bug ID: 126284
           Summary: LibreOffice Writer shows wrong "physical" page count
                    (page count in document) after inserting a manual page
                    break with resetting the page number to 1 on pages
                    with an odd page number
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mail at flx.es

Description:
The bottom left view shows a wrong page count after inserting manual page
breaks under certain conditions (see Steps to Reproduce section). This can
become very annoying as soon as you e.g. want to print or export certain pages
by specifying the page number in the document, as the page count that is shown
in the bottom left differs from the actual number.

Steps to Reproduce:
How to reproduce the bug:
1. Create a new document in LibreOffice Writer
2. Press "Insert" – "More Breaks" – "Manual Break…"
3. Select "Page break" and an arbitrary style, check "Change page number" and
set it to 1
4. The bottom left view will now show "Page 3 of 3 (Page 1)" although we
actually have a page count of 2 (not 3)

However, the bug will not occur if you:
1. Create a new document in LibreOffice Writer
2. Insert a page break (Ctrl+Return) and navigate to page 2
3. Press "Insert" – "More Breaks" – "Manual Break…"
4. Select "Page break" and an arbitrary style, check "Change page number" and
set it to 1
4. The bottom left view will now show "Page 3 of 3 (Page 1)", which is correct
as we now have a physical page count of 3

Actual Results:
Bottom left view shows "Page 3 of 3 (Page 1)"

Expected Results:
Bottom left view should show "Page 2 of 2 (Page 1)"


Reproducible: Always
