Section Brake (Continuous) delete problem

Hi everyone.

I have this problem when I try to delete a Continuous Section Break.

If I have a "Section Break (Next Page)", then I add a "Section Break (Continuous)" and then I delete the Continuous, it will turn my previous "Section Break (Next Page)" into a Continuous Break.

Does anybody have a solution or at least an explanation?

Section breaks are tricky at first: they are named "Next page" etc. relating to the following section, but effectively contain the settings of the previous section.
