--- Comment #6 from tmacalp <[email protected]> ---
LibreOffice 5.0 introduced a new behavior that causes a handful of bugs, one of
which is keeping this bug from being testable.

Way back in LibreOffice 3.3ish, the print dialog was revamped to simplify
things.  It now will ignore the print dialog's paper size/orientation in favor
of the document's page size.  To get this setting to be used, you had to check
the (unintuitively located) "Use only paper size from printer preferences,"
which is located as the last option under the Options tab.  IMO, this check-box
should be moved to the "Properties" dialog, next to the options it affects, but
that is another report.  As of 5.0, LO no longer just ignores your paper size
settings.  Instead, it greys the settings out so you at least know they're not
being used.

The bug that is keeping this from being testable, is that switching to brochure
mode doesn't currently enable "Use only paper size from printer preferences" to
let us choose larger paper.  Also, changing the page layout to more than one
page per sheet should also allow us to change paper size.  I'll report this as
another bug, if it's not already reported.

The good news is that once we jump through the unintuitive hoop of checking
"Use only paper size from printer preferences" and we specify tabloid paper,
this bug is not triggered and it prints correctly the first time.

Of course, after we print and revisit the print dialog, we're hit by bug 79077,
so our "Use only paper size from printer preferences" option was forgotten as
soon as we clicked print.  If we look under properties, the page size box is
greyed out, but we still have tabloid paper selected and are unable to change
it.
