Description Ahamed 2014-03-19 07:30:48 UTC
Problem description: 
The page number in the view-> page break preview  does not show correctly.  suppose there are two sheets only and in each sheet contain THREE pages of data only. while in sheet 2 then select the first sheet also using CTL button pressed or SHFT button pressed, then in the second sheet page number should reflect the page number considering the whole two sheets ie. it should start the page number from 4 then 5 and then 6 etc.

Steps to reproduce:
1. ....
2. ....
3. ....

Current behavior:
the page number shows only 1 2 3 etc, not 4 , 5 and then 6
Expected behavior:
it should show  4 , 5 and then 6
(THIS should be the case when the first page number is insisted to get started with yet another number say 10 then the page numbers should reflect 11 then, 12 and then 13 etc.              
Operating System: All
Version: 4.1.1.2 release

For me not reproducible with LO 4.2.2.1 (Win 8.1), the page numbers are shown correctly on my computer.
Can anybody else with LO 4.1 confirm this bug?

Regarding your second comment you should please open another bug report (enhancement request).

I can confirm what you say either on 4.1.5.3 and for 4.2.3.1. But it's not a bug, the numbers that you see are an indication on how the pages break on one sheet, it's not a page numbering, it's only a preview of how the pages are disposed on a given sheet. The order of numbering is set in the Format > Page > Sheet tab.

Hi all,
Pl. see that the behaviour in the page-break-preview is  ideal for SINGLE sheet but not for multi sheet calc documents.  Even if it(ie. behaviour of page-break-preview) is similar to  MS EXCEL, it does not mean that it is not a bug.  Actually it is a bug. ie. it does not give the correct page number in the doc page-break-view.   

please bear with me.............

Hence I am reopening it again

continuing again,

please see that the page-break-PREVIEW is NOT only the page break preview but IT DOES include the page NUMBER as well.
