I cannot see this work.

Page 1 (front page) has a section break (next page)
page 2 (reference page) has a section break (next page)
page 3 (which should be get page number 1) gets page number 1

Now also page 1 (front page) gets page 1
and page 2 (reference page) gets page 2

This is even that i made the front page a special page, and clicked in format pagenumbers (show number on first page) off.
