Summary: Can not select properly a custom page size for
printing

OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED

example file
Up to LibreOffice 3.5.7 it was perfectly possible to select a custom page size
for printing. This was pretty useful for printing 2 pages per sheet. For
example, 2 A5 pages in a A4 sheet, because A4 doubles A5 by design, although
something similar could have been done with a 2 A5 in a letter sheet.
However, I just have realized that in LibO 4.1.6 it is possible to select the
page size for the printer, but the page size is not correctly set after the
selection dialog.
Moreover, in LibO 5.2 it isn't even possible to select a page size. That limits
the capabilities when printing. Even printing to a file (PDF) results in a
wrong final page size.
Steps to reproduce:
0) Download the example file "specimen.odt". It's just a Lorem Ipsum in A5
pages.
1) Open it with LibreOffice 5.2.
2) Go to the Print Dialog. At this point, the size of the preview shown at left
is A5, naturally.
3) Go to Page settings tab, and select to pages per sheet, and then back to the
first tab: the page size shown in the preview is still A5.
4) Open the Printer Properties dialog, and try to select another size for your
paper size.
Result:
It's not possible
Expected:
It is possible as in LibO 3.5:
Simply repeat steps from (1) to (4) using LibO 3.5
5) Selelect A4 in the paper size, and exit the Printer Properties dialog
Result
the preview shows now A4 in size.
Additional comments:
a) if steps (1) to (5) are repeated in LibO 4.1, the result after exiting the
page dialog is that the page size remained unchanged.
b) Printing as PDF doesn't work either. I'm attaching several screenshots and
PDF that results from that option. In PDF properties, it can be seen that the
page size of the PDF generated by LibO 3.5 is A4, and the ones generated by
Lib4.1 & 5.2 are still A5. This results in the last picture I'll attach.
