Bug ID: 158654
Summary: Print Dialog box incorrectly renders landscape
documents
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.4.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When creating a Writer document that has the first page in Landscape mode, the
File > Print dialog box shows an incorrect preview of the page. Instead of the
page shown in landscape mode, it appears in portrait mode. This also happens
for mixed orientation documents. For example, Page 1 = landscape mode and Page
2 = portrait and vise-versa. The preview from the File Print dialog always
shows both pages in portrait mode.
Doing a simple Print Preview does work, but the File Print dialog box doesn't.
Workaround. Re-select the printer from drop down list.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Writer
2.Format > Page Style
3.Select Landscape
4. Type "Hello world"
5. File > Print
Actual Results:
1) The print preview on the left panel will show the print as a Portrait mode
document instead of landscape.
2) Paper size will be blanked out, instead of showing Letter or whatever the
printer default.
Expected Results:
1) The print preview should show a landscape mode document.
2) Paper size should be automatically selected (instead of blanked out)
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
In spite of doing an actual, File > Print Preview (CTRL + SHIFT + O) and seeing
the correct page layout, if the user clicks Print, they will still be shown the
wrong layout.
The workaround is, the user MUST re-select the printer from the drop down list
of printers. When that happens, the paper size will be correctly shown and the
print preview will be correctly displayed.
If the user does not re-select the print and tries to print, the document will
not print correctly!
