I have an issue that I believe is common, and looks like a bug in InDesign. But automatic page numbering over chapters in a book doesn't work. I've tried all tips and tricks, until I found out that it is already logged by more people as a bug in the program. I just wonder if Adobe can fix this problem on short notice, as it appears to be there already for quite a while.
What appears to be the problem is that the next document page numbering just looks at the page range of the previous one, and page ranges reflect only the number of pages in the chapters. They do not reflect any page numbering.
