Default Section break - to odd page issues

Hi, Dear Friends!
I see that when I am on an odd page number and insert a section break to an odd page, it doesn't do it, it just inserts a break to next page which is even numbered. This break should be to an odd page, but it seems not to be listening.

You can enable "Mirror margins" or "Different odd and even" headers/footers in Page Setup to ensure that Word honors odd page section breaks, even when no page numbers have been added.

Sometimes, you have to change the type of section ("Section start") after a section break has been added. Use the Page Setup dialog box for that purpose as well.
