--- Comment #4 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu)

I see it as described in:

Version: 7.4.4.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 85569322deea74ec9134968a29af2df5663baa21
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

and:

Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 579d144290c1617fdb38d09b30900a6bbe390b8d
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Both print dialog and PDF printed to file show missing top row.

However, this is only because the Format > Page Style > Page > Page Format is
set to portrait, and therefore the print ranges are in portrait. The missing
rows are the top and bottom ones that don't fit when trying to fit a portrait
page format on a landscape piece of paper. Same kind of "cropping" happens in
Writer when trying to print a portrait page in landscape orientation (unless
one is printing two portrait pages per landscape sheet).

Bit of history, according to my tests:

OOo 3.3, LO 6.1 and 6.2 had a different print dialog: changing the orientation
could only be done in the printer properties. Changing it to landscape did
update the preview, print range centered, top and bottom rows not visible.
Printing results in same.

LO 6.3 to 7.1 showed correct landscape orientation in the preview, top row
visible because the print range is not centered: it is top left-aligned. Prints
in portrait orientation.

LO 7.2 and 7.3 (and oldest version in the linux-64-7.4 bibisect repo) do not
update the orientation in the preview, like Raal noticed. Print to file still
results in the page in portrait orientation, all data visible.

So we went through these stages:
1) correct orientation in preview and print, but data outside of paper
2) correct orientation in preview, top row visible because top left-aligned,
but printed in wrong orientation
3) wrong orientation in preview and print (so all data is visible, because
portrait mode)
4) correct orientation in preview and print, but data outside of paper.

We are now back at the original situation, so not a regression.
Versions 6.3 to 7.3 were clearly buggy in different ways.

I'd say this is "not a bug" as the page format could have been changed to
landscape.
One could however argue that the print range should shrink to the space it has
on paper so everything is still visible, or that it should be top-left aligned
so the first data is always visible (like in LO 6.3 to 7.1), but probably
better to open a new report for that. I couldn't find an existing one.
