As displayed on the Status bar while in Normal view, and in the Print
Preview mode--right? 

But we also have another "nit-pick" related issue with the Navigator,  and
its linked "Jump to Specific Page" box in the Print Preview dialog.  When
Navigating/jumping to one of the blank pages, it gets lost and ends up on
the first page.

Where? (1) on the Print dialog--where the range selection, reverse order are
located, and *exposed for selection to every print job*; or (2)  more
generically as a setting in the Tools -> Options -> Print panel?   Could be
either of those as opposed to the Tools -> Options -> Writer -> Print: Other
section, where it resides now and is a Writer only configuration.

But, not the Tools -> Options General tab.

Yes. But again, you mean for the Print dialog and not one of the Tools ->
Options panels?
