--- Comment #1 from Peter Roelofsen <florisv59 at gmail.com> ---
Confirmed on LibO 7.2.0.4
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/gitweb?p=core.git;a=log;h=ce769e3009755dcf0082844e386f5dca4c8ecb2f
in Ubuntu Linux 20. The page count field updates automatically when you add
pages in the "normal" area, but not when you add an endnotes section. You have
to do Tools - Update - Fields (or F9) to force the page count to update in some
other way. Once updated, it will automatically update when you add so many
endnotes that the text wraps to a second endnotes page. 

I'm not sure if this would count as a bug. I don't know how much auto-updating
for such cases would cost in terms of time spent checking if the page count
needs to be updated. Not auto-updating the ToC makes sense to me - it'd
probably mean that Writer would have to check at virtually every new paragraph
whether it's a paragraph that has to be added to the ToC. But it's definitely
something that may give some users a headache. Do we want that?
