Description Tomáš Chvátal 2015-04-09 12:08:25 UTC 
As reported to suse bugzilla here:
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=881015

The issue is as follows:

when running lowriter -p file.odt it should go to printer without displaying splash-screen.

Manpage snippet:
       -p file...
              Prints the given files to the  default  printer  and  ends.  The
              splash screen does not appear.

The splash-screen is in-fact displayed when you do it. So manpage should be adjusted or better the splash should not show up.

The issue is reproducable on Master and first was reported on 4.1, but might be even longer around.

Reproduced on Linux, but not on Windows.

Version 3.6 does not show splash, so marking as regression.

The first release version I can see this on is indeed 4.1, but the splash screen is shown for "-p" all the way back to the start of bibisect 43all (i.e. ~3.5.0), so not sure what's going on there. Unfortunately doesn't seem bibisectable.
