--- Comment #6 from Frank <fobe...@enteract.com> ---
You are using Ubuntu 14.10 so maybe, as Andy suggested, the Linux version is a
contributing factor - if so, perhaps 14.10 is just smarter and doesn't display
an unrequested "Current Page" element. Of course, you're also using a later
Alpha version of LibreOffice, so its hard to tell.

For me at least, removing the button just hides the problem rather than fixing
it, as the ability to select the current page seems like a pretty fundamental
capability.

I usually only use the LTS (Long Term Support) versions of Ubuntu, though, so
have no plans to update to 14.10 and won't be able to confirm this.

But - the inability to select the current page is merely an annoyance - the
fact that Writer ignores any request to print double-sided is (it seems to me)
a rather embarassing bug that could only have been introduced rather recently.
Such a feature effectively renders any additional expense of acquiring a
double-sided printer a waste. As I said, though, even when it did work from
Writer, it didn't seem to understand how to handle short-edge margins correctly
when printing double-sided (most such printers need a little extra non-printing
space to "grab" the printer while flipping the paper), so I've gotten in the
habit of exporting to pdf and then printing from a pdf reader (Okular and Adobe
both handle such things correctly as far as I can tell).

But - just in case - I reconfirmed the points I made in my earlier postings
(Comments 2 and 3).
