I checked the mentioned link and found that all it says is just many other
programs behave the same way. It does not say that this behaviour is the
correct one.
On the contrary, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_orientation explicitly says
that portrait is when the height is greater than the width:
> The [...] portrait [...] is [...] where the height of the display area is
> greater than the width [...]
So, I think following the _bad_ behaviour of other programs is not the good
solution for LibreOffice. LO should behave nicely, logically and according to
the expectations, rather than not following a behaviour that contradicts the
expectations of most of the users.
I liked when 15-20 years ago StarOffice moved the page formatting into the
Format menu, rather than File menu, where MSWord and Google Docs still keep it.
It simply is more logical and plausible under Format menu. Similarly, a
vertical page should mean portrait, regardless what other programs say.
I reopen the ticket and please, re-consider changing the current behaviour.
Thanks.
