Description Claudio Nieder 2017-08-19 11:37:25 UTC
Description:
The printing dialog preview of the page shows wrong content when opened a second time with brochure mode on.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open printing dialog
2. Enable brochure mode
3. E.g. save as PDF
4. Open printing dialog again
5. Observe, that the preview looks wrong.
6. Disable brochure mode
7. Enable brochure mode again
8. Observe, that the preview now looks correct.

Actual Results:  
When opening print dialog when brochure mode is already enabled, the content in the preview window is wrong. Only after disabling and reenabling brochure mode it is shown correctly.

Expected Results:
It should show a correct preview right away.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: Yes and the buggy behaviour still showed.

Additional Info:
See attached screenshot for how the preview appeared.

@Claudio : In what way is the preview display "wrong" ? If I open both images, I don't see a huge difference, certainly nothing that strikes me as wrong, but perhaps I am missing something.

Please provide a document with which we can test, or does the problem occur with any document ?

Additionally, does the problem occur with a different printer ?

I don't seem to be able to reproduce this with a multipage Writer document and testing against 2 printers :

Version: 5.4.0.3
Build ID: 7556cbc6811c9d992f4064ab9287069087d7f62c
CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.12.6; UI render: default; 
Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); Calc: group

but again, perhaps I am missing some crucial detail ?

The margins shown are totally wrong on the first time.

I originally reported the issue as part of bug 111766 and was asked to report this issue separately. I will attach here the same document I used there, as soon as possible.
