Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 67148
Changed header/footer heights not updated on even pages
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:44:58 UTC
After modifying "Left and Right" page layout style, left (even) page header/footer height/spacing is not updated on screen, though is updated in the file. Occurs on: 2.0.3-2 Debian build on Linux 2.0.169 native build on Windows 98 Cannot check now, but didn't notice this to happen on 2.0.1-5 Debian build. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open new text document. ("Default" page style: "Right and left" page layout) 2. Create 2 or 4 pages: "Insert-> Manual break-> page break", style "none" or "default" (i.e. the same). 3. Modify "Default" style: Header" tab: a) Check "Header on". b) Uncheck "Same content left/right". c) Uncheck "AutoFit height". d) Set "Height" to "0.10 cm". e) Click "OK" - all headers are resized. 6. Now modify "Default" page style again: change header height to e.g. 1 cm, and click OK. - only odd (right) page headers are resized, and even (left) page headers are unchanged. Expected: all page headers are resized. 7. Save and close the document. 8. Open it again: all headers are resized, as expected. Steps 6-8 may be repeated again with the same result. This also applies to: Footer height Header spacing Footer spacing.
Created attachment 37747 [details] document to reproduce
MRU->OS: easy to reproduce with attached sample. Open this in OO, change the footer height -> will be only aplied on odd pages. It looks, that Writer is confused by the unchecked "same content on left/right pages" option.
move target to 3.x according http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Target_3x

I've found a simple work-around for this problem. After modifying the height, etc., reopen the Page style dialog and *change the style name*. This seemingly has the effect of jolting the system into re-eveluating all the settings and reformatting the document accordingly.
Save and reopen after any layout change is annoying.
