Question about a possible bug in writer.

users
#1

I'm asking here before I go and hunt down if there's a bug.

I've done these steps. Very simple an unsophisticated process.
1) I create a new writer document.
2) I paste into it a load of plain text.
3) Go to first page. Create a footer with "page" of "page number"
4) Go to last page, the footer says "8 of 8".
5) Now, begin to format text.

Some of the changes:
A) Bold and Center a line of text.
B) Select some text and created bulleted list.

At this point the page counts are correct. NOW, I adjust the right
margin of the bulleted text and the page number /following/ the margin
change gets reset.

Has anyone seen this?
Anyone have any suggestions to look into before I try filing a bug report?
Thoughts?

Thanks for everyone's time.

What operating system and LO version do you have.

This reminds me of a problem I've experienced. It may or may not be the same bug.

Try saving/closing the document, then re-opening it. If it's the bug I experienced, then the pages will be correct again when you re-open it.

I just tried recreating this problem with my system, and all worked well.

I'm using LO 4.3.6.2 on Ubuntu 14.04.

I can't recreate the bug.

Thanks to all for the replies.

Since no one jumped up yelling that they've seen it I'll "assume" it's
my fault/problem.

Let me recreate a test document for it and see what happens.

Short answers, on Mac OSX.6.8 (No, can't upgrade yet.)
LO Version: 4.2.8.2 Build ID: 48d50dbfc06349262c9d50868e5c1f630a573eb

Let me try again and I'll update the list with the results.
