why the "section break-next page" is switched to "section break-continuous"?

thank you for the elaboration.

Thanks aero_b and Jamal.

I had exactly the opposite problem: I wanted to get rid of a page break but retain a section break. The same technique worked to solve it.

MS must be aware of this bizarre functionality. Why on earth don't they fix it?
