per page

 If you set your site to have 1 post per page (meaning you have to
 scroll/click to see the next entry) a sticky post will cause the site to
 display both on its first/front page.

 For example, on a test site, I have the standard Hello world! post and
 have set my site to 1 post per page.

 Upon adding a sticky post, however, the test site now shows two posts on
 the front page.

 If you add a second sticky, it shows three per page.

 This behavior seems odd. I'm not 100% positive this is a bug per se (it
 may be intentional/wontfix), so this report may also work as an
 enhancement request. If a user sets 1 post per page, it can be confusing
 and frustrating for it to show more than one.
