Priority: medium
Bug ID: 71157
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Writer ingores system locale and LibreOffice locale
settings in page format
Severity: major
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.1.2.3 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
LibreOffice Package: libreoffice 1:4.1.2~rc3-0ubuntu1

Condition:
1/ The global system locale is set to: "English - Great Britain".
2/ In LibreOffice, under Tools > Options > Languages:
2.1/ The entries for "User interface" and "Locale setting" under the heading
"Language of" are both set to "Default - English (UK)".
2.2/ The entry for "Western" under the heading "Default languages for
documents" is set to "Default - English (UK)", and the entry for "Asian" is set
to "Default - Chinese (simplified)". The option "For the current document only"
is not ticked.
2.3/ Under the heading "Enhanced language support", the option "Ignore system
input language" is not ticked.
Issue:
Nothing in these settings suggests any connections with the USA.
Yet, any new document has the deviant and uniquely-US page format "Letter",
rather than ISO standard A4.
Any page format changes to A4 made in the "Default" page style through "Format"
> "Styles and Formatting" > "Page Styles" icon > "Default Style" > "Modify..."
do not stick between documents. This even applies to new documents opened when
the same instance of LibreOffice is running.
This behaviour is clearly inconsistent and wrong.
Also, because the user is not alerted to this behaviour, it leads to many
misformatted documents.
