Since we created almost the same patch locally, we can describe its effect for
users:

Users often encounter some misunderstanding about changing the layout
orientation in the print dialog specifically in tracing tables. This may be due
to habits from MSO where the orientation was changed right before printing and
a lack of skill in applying styles. In other modules, this problem is not so
noticeable, since pagination is immediately visible, but in tracing paper it is
not visible without enabling the desired setting or without turning preview on
and off. Based on this, it was made so that changing the layout orientation
also changed the orientation of the pages in Calc, immediately before printing.

The change in tdf#155218 does not change the styles, keeping them original.
However, now, after additional tests, one small side effect of the proposed
implementation is noticeable: after changing the page orientation and closing
the print dialog in Calc, you can still see incorrect print boundaries in some
cases, despite the fact that the original orientation is preserved in the
styles. But we’ll probably move the discussion of this bug into the report with
the patch, attaching a video.
