Bug #: 47583
Summary: PRINTING: Behaviour of Writer Print Options are not
Transparent
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.5.0 Release
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Status Whiteboard: BSA
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Problem description:
In order to illustrate the problem some steps:
[1] Start LibreOffice and open a new text document.
[2] Display general print options: Tools > Options... > LibreOffice Writer >
Print. Keep in mind at least one setting of a print option. Then "Cancel".
[3] Display print options of current document: File > Printer Settings... >
Options... The displayed options correspond with the general print options.
[4] Change one option, then OK and again OK.
[5] Display general print options again: Tools > Options... > LibreOffice
Writer > Print. The changed option of Step [4] is also changed here.
Expectation: No change of general print option. Go on with Cancel.
[5] Open a second new text document.
[6] Display general print options again: Tools > Options... > LibreOffice
Writer > Print. The change of step [4] is not displayed here.
It took me some time to understand this behaviour:
The changed setting in step [4] does not change the general option, as it
looked like in step [5]. Hence the settings are OK, but the display is wrong
in step [5]. That means print properties of the current file are displayed in
step [5].
Proposal in order to make the behaviour more transparent:
Insert a heading to the option category 'LibreOffice Writer > Print': "Initial
Print Options of new Documents". And of course print options of current
documents should not longer displayed in the general options dialog.
Hints:
(a) See also bug 47572.
(b) In bug 43786 and bug 47303 I described similar problems with options, which
are used as a property of a document.
Problem also observed with Version 3.4.5.
