Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 61000
"Add page break" is enabled for style, although it was disabled when saved & reopened

Open a Writer-Document. Type in two lines. Assign the first one to "Heading", the second one to "Heading 1". Open style-settings for "Heading" > Textflow, enable "Add page-break before heading". First result: Heading 1 will also generate a page-break. This might be intended, as "Heading" is linked to "Heading 1". Not sure though if it makes sense. Anyway, go to the settings of "Heading 1" > Textflow, disable "Add page-break before heading". Second result: "Heading 1" is now below "Heading" and if you enter new lines that are assigned to "Heading" and "Heading 1", only "Heading" will produce a page break. Save the document. Re-open the document. Result: "Heading 1" has "Add page-break before heading" enabled again. If "Heading" is meant to overwrite the settings for "Heading 1-10" everytime the document is opened, OO should not allow the user to disable "Add page-break" for "Heading 1", because the user thinks that anything one disabled and saved, stays disabled. Currently disabling "Add page-break" in "Heading 1" works like a session-setting, which is not saved when the session ends, i.e. the document is closed, which is of no use to the user. Expected behaviour would be to disable any settings that are not saved, or save the setting.
reassigned to ES.
replicated the bug on WinXP sp2, Pentium 3 with OOo2.0.1 1. create new Text document in oo writer 2. type "line number 1" for the first line and type "hello world" for the second line 3. select the first line "line number 1" 4. open Format->Styles and Formatting->Heading 5. select the second line "hello world" 6. open Format->Styles and Formatting->Heading 1 7. select the first line "line number 1" again 8. right click on the selection-> Edit Paragraph Styles->Text Flow->Breaks-> 9. enable Insert-> "Type" choose "Page" -> "Position" choose "Before" 10. select the second line "hello world" again 11. right click on the selection-> Edit Paragraph Styles->Text Flow->Breaks-> 12. observed that heading 1 has also generated the page-break which is not suppose to This bug is crucial since editing one paragraph style will affect the other and it is unknown to the user, so this might mess up the whole content of the document.
another bug 1. type "third line" in a new line 2. open Format->Styles and Formatting->Heading 3. open Format->Styles and Formatting->Heading 1 4. observed that the line "third line" work correctly The page break of "heading" for line "line number 1" is disappeared after disable Insert for "heading 1".
Heading 1 is a child style of Headin (switch the Stylist to "Hierarchical" to see it) so it gets the attributes from Heading automatically.

So if it is fixed to the value of the parent, why can I change it?
