--- Comment #14 from Qubit <[email protected]> ---
Testing on Ubuntu 12.04.3 + LibreOffice 4.2.0.1 and 3.3.0

Carefully reviewing this bug, I now believe that this is the expected behavior.
The pages of content in a given document are resized to n-per-page, but are not
duplicated, etc..

I'm not an expert on printing terminology, but here's what Wikipedia and Adobe
say (WP references Adobe's page):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-up#Printing
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/print-multiple-pages-per-sheet.html
"You can print more than one page of a PDF onto a single sheet of paper.
Printing multiple pages per sheet is also called n-up printing (such as 2-up or
6-up)"

To be precise, LibreOffice doesn't use the term "n-up". It uses the terminology
"pages per sheet," which definitely seems to convey the current behavior, and
contrasts with "copies per sheet" or similar terms that would imply automatic
duplication.

Given *that* description, my testing indicates that LO 3.3.0 and 4.2.0.1 (and
presumably all versions inbetween) are acting as expected, and this is not a
regression.

All that being said, I do understand a desire to duplicate pages of content in
a document, especially for printing purposes. That sounds like a reasonable
enhancement request (which should be filed separately from this bug).
