I am using scrartcl with the twopage option to get a two sided document. The result is as desired.
If I change the pagenumbering after the first few pages (title page, list of contents, ...) from roman to arabic the pagecounter is resetted. This is desired as well. however, what I don't want is that the orientation of the page (left/right) is resetted as well. How can i avoid this?
Here is a mimimal working example:
\documentclass[twoside]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{Roman}
\section{right page, as it should be}
\blindtext \blindtext \blindtext
\newpage
\section{left page, as it should be}
\blindtext \blindtext \blindtext
\newpage
\section{right page, as it should be}
\blindtext \blindtext \blindtext
\newpage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\section{right page again. this should be a left page}
\blindtext \blindtext \blindtext
\newpage
\end{document}
