--- Comment #2 from Frank <[email protected]> ---
Sorry if the explanation wasn't clear - the "guesses" you proposed were all
correct, so is it that you simply can't reproduce this behavior?

This behavior has existed in both 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 (which I was using when I
originally posted the bug) and 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04, but I don't have any other
operating systems installed at the moment so can't check their behavior. At any
rate, here's how I get the behavior:

Step 1:
Open a Writer Document - go to some arbitrary page and click the mouse; this
sets what I am referring to as the "current page."

Step 2:
(as you surmised) Use the menu sequence "Tools | Options | General | Print
Dialogs": Insure that "Use LibreOffice Dialogs" is Unchecked. (This causes
LibreOffice to use the printing dialog boxes supplied by the Operating System -
in my case the operating system is 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04)

Step 3:
(again, as you surmised) Use the menu sequence "File | Print" and insure that
the "General" tab is the one displayed. In the lower "Range" section there is a
grouping of three radio buttons labeled "All Pages", "Current Page", and
"Pages". The problem I am describing is that the "Current Page" radio button is
always disabled ("greyed out") and there is no page number in the input box
adjacent to that radio button when using LibreOffice Writer.

In the operating system printing dialog, the other tabs differ based on the
printer that is selected as well as the application that is calling the dialog.
For instance, the "LibreOffice Writer" tab is only present when called from
Writer. So Writer seems to be sharing at least some information with the OS -
just not the current page.

Although the issue I describe could (so far) be related to either the operating
system or the application, the reason I suspect the application (Writer) is
that the identical OS printing dialog is used with other applications and all
those I have looked at show the current page number filled in next to the
"Current Page" radio button.

It would therefore seem that Writer is not passing this information to the
operating system's dialog box, at least in 64 bit versions of Ubuntu.

If there are further questions, or things you would like me to try, let me
know.
