Bug ID: 168542
Summary: Insert -> Page break also includes a new paragraph,
which is not by definition desired
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 26.2.0.0 alpha0+ master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]

Description:
Insert -> Page break also includes a new paragraph, which is not by definition
desired. There are cases where you want to insert page break without paragraph.
Which can be done, but in totally different dialog. So Insert -> Page Break
appears to be directed to specific workflow.
Steps to Reproduce:
Case A
1. Open the attached file
2. Place cursor after the last character at page 1 (?)
3. Insert -> More Breaks -> Manual Page Break -> Page Style -> Landscape. Press
OK
Result an additional page in portrait introduced. Page 2 becoming page 3,
oriented in landscape. Deleting paragraph on page 2 removes the empty page
without losing the page break (so it's not add a page break 'after' this
paragraph)
Case B
1. Open the attached file
2. Place cursor at the beginning of page 2
3. Insert -> More Breaks -> Manual Page Break -> Page Style -> Landscape. Press
OK
Result: Page 2 becomes landscape, but gets additional Paragraph before
Case D
1. Open the attached file
2. Place cursor at the beginning of page 1
3. Format -> Paragraph -> Text flow tab ->
a) Check Insert Break
b) Change position to After
c) Check page style & pick Landscape
Result: Page 2 becomes landscape, set in the paragraph above the page break
Case D
1. Open the attached file
2. Place cursor at the beginning of page 2
3. Format -> Paragraph -> Text flow tab
a) Check Insert Break
b) Check with page style & pick Landscape
Result: Page 2 becomes landscape. Defined in the paragraph below the page break
Actual Results:
As described
Expected Results:
I always assumed Insert -> Page Break only insert a page break. However it does
actually two things
A) Insert a new paragraph
B) Adding a page break
So in an existing document you actually need to go Format -> Paragraph -> Text
flow tab to add page breaks to prevent inserting additional paragraph
This is a kind of confusing for Benjamin. Insert -> Page Break has a prominent
place; easy to find. However it doesn't produce the intended result instantly.
Sure I do get CTRL+Enter being about adding a new Paragraph + Page Break.
So it's only the label? Or should the logic/or UI be 'smarter' in some way
