Master Pages not applied correctly on facing pages when inserting or moving single pages


Recommended Posts

To reproduce the error: Set up a document with facing pages, starting and ending with single pages. Make a master page with items on left and right pages of spread. Now insert a single page or move the last page before the double pages. The master page items are now swapped left to right on the double page. Adding more pages increase the confusion. Document attached as example.

Yes, I see what you mean. To add to your dialogue, I have found that when you set up your new spread with a Master Page then as you hover the mouse cursor over a page preview in the Pages Panel, you are shown that Master A is applied, which is to be expected. 1122656701_Affinitymastersnewpage.PNG.d5ce1c373d4271726a4fe9200a83d873.PNG

 

When you add an even number of pages, this doesn't alter, BUT if you add a single page then  all following double pages have TWO copies of the Master Page applied

This is obviously a bug that needs some attention.  It is possible to select all the pagers with two copies of the same master applied, Right Click on the selection then  Apply Master choosing the option Replace Existing but one shouldn't have to do that.

Your sample document makes it very evident that something is going wrong, but it's even worse if you had say only page numbers fields on the Master Page with left page numbers to the left and right page numbers to the right ,  then inserting 1 page means that suddenly you would find all successive pages would have the correct page number on them BUT NOT IN THE CORRECT PLACE as in this file LRpagenumbers swapped.afpub
