I moved the page number ("1", "2" etc) via the mouse to a different location. It looked fine, but did not save its location in the score file.

Steps:
1) Style>Edit General Style...
2) Select Number category
3) check all: Page Numbers, Show First, Odd/Even so page numbers show
4) OK
5) Drag a page number (e.g. "1") from the default lower right to the middle of the page
6) Save, close, and reopen document

Result:
The page number is back to the lower right.


Comments

The bug is that the page numbers are movable. This should not be possible as page numbers cannot be edited as they are created by "layout". Every relayout overwrites all page numbers.
Instead you can change the position of page numbers by editing the text style.
