marginpar on wrong side twosided first paragraph

Question

I am aware there are a lot of questions about this or related but I cannot find any good general answer to any of them, so:

\marginpar seems to use the page number its paragraph start at to determine if it is on an odd or even page and appear on the wrong side in twosided documents if the paragraph simply runs over the pagebreak and the margin content does not fit the first page.

This seems to be a really big general problem. Am I missing something or is this really the case? If not what am I missing? If so, where are the (maintained packages only) alternatives?

Please, can provide an MWE, which demonstrate your problem. So far I don't remember to have such problems. — Zarko, Nov 02 '21 at 05:00
\marginnote is better than \marginpar, but please provide MWE from \documentclass to \end{document} ... — MadyYuvi, Nov 02 '21 at 05:31

If it happens (and it can happen) then you can correct it by using \reversemarginpar just before the \marginpar so don't worry about it until you have finished editing then correct any that need it.
