Bug ID: 158312
Summary: Perhaps changing the orientation in Page Layout does
not work conveniently for Calc
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Printing and PDF export
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
In the "File -> Print..." menu, Page Layout section, landscape/portrait
orientation can be changed manually. But, if an orientation different from the
original one is selected in the menu, only the part of the page that falls into
the intersection of the old and new orientation will be in the print area. At
the same time, if 2 (or more) pages per sheet are selected, the entire pages
will be placed in the print area.
This behavior is understandable in Writer, where page orientation is better set
by styles, since there is a clear division into pages, but for Calc it looks a
little strange:
- Firstly, before opening and closing the print menu or print preview, the
current page orientation is not displayed anywhere in the interface (at least
we were not able to see anything similar). For users who don't work with
styles, this may look strange because they might expect that changing the
orientation in the print window will change the orientation of the page, not
just the print area, thereby hiding some of the data.
- Secondly, the behavior of outputting 1 page per sheet differs from outputting
2 or more pages per sheet. For 1 page, some of the data is lost after changing
the orientation, while several pages are positioned without losing data.
Is this behavior originally intended? Maybe it should be changed at least for
Calc, where there is not such a strict division into pages as in other modules?
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new document in Calc and fill the table with data
2. Open "File -> Print..." menu
3. Change orientation from "Automatic" to "Landscape"
Actual Results:
Some data located outside the intersection of portrait and landscape
orientation is not visible.
Expected Results:
It might be worth changing the pagination and displaying the data as if
landscape orientation was specified in the styles.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
