Description

Issue type

UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)

Description with steps to reproduce

Changing First page number in Page > Page settings... no longer updates the score until the dialog is confirmed. Other changes in the dialog (margins, page size, etc.) cause the score to update immediately.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the regression in Page > Page settings... on the latest main build, comparing the First page number field with margins and page size. Trace the dialog's score-update path and determine why this field waits for confirmation. Done means changing First page number updates the score immediately, consistently with the other settings, while the existing confirmation behavior remains intact.
