Steps to reproduce the issue

In a website with multiple articles in a given category:

1. Create a new menu item for category blog view of that category.
2. On the Blog Layout tab, adjust the numbers of leading and intro articles so the total is less than the total articles in category (if 5 articles in category, e.g., use 1 leading and 2 intro articles).
3. Set the number of links to any number greater than 1 (try 5 in the above example).
4. View page.
5. click pagination to go to next page.

Expected result

The articles on the next page begin with the next article after the last linked article.

Actual result

The articles on the next page begin with the first linked article. IOW, articles linked to on page 1 appear at the top of page 2.

System information (as much as possible)

Joomla 3.8.1

Additional comments

It's a User Confusion bug. I ran into it when deciding to override the formatting of the links list (turning it into a grid, if it matters, with a thumbnail of the article image as part of the grid). I had 7 articles, so set the Lead to 1, the Intro to 1, and the Links to 6 to test the new display. And I saw pagination for multiple pages, when every article in the category was already listed on the screen in front of me?!?! I checked and they were repeating articles that had already been presented to the user on a previous page. I don't think that would be the behavior of this layout expected by most users. It certainly wasn't what I expected. When I click "Next page" I expect to see more articles, not a repetition of arcticles I've already decided I didn't want to read (or worse, just finished reading). It appears the number of links that will be shown the user isn't taken into account by the code that calculates number of items per page.
