Description Daniel Goldstein 2020-12-14 20:50:33 UTC 
Description:
When I want to print two pages on one sheet, the preview in the print dialogue (and the resulting print) looks as shown in the attachment. As soon as I change one of the other option, the pages snap in. So if I select and then unselect "dras a frame", preview and print are fine; same if I unselect "preview"

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open a multipage document
2.print, select layout options > more, set to 2
3.to obtain correct print, do as described above

Actual Results:
after step 2, truncated page shown and printed
after step 3, correct double page shown and printed


Expected Results:
correct preview and print right away, i.e. after step 2


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Version: 6.4.7.2 (x64)
Build-ID: 639b8ac485750d5696d7590a72ef1b496725cfb5
CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI-Render: Standard; VCL: win; 
Gebietsschema: de-CH (de_CH); UI-Sprache: de-DE
Calc: CL

The bug has been there for as long as I can remember; I always hoped for the next release but didn't act because the workaround is so simple once you find it.

I'll file a supplement if Open GL and/or profile resetting change anything.

Below, I read "Please use the "Add an Attachment" link once the bug is filled." You surely mean "filed".

print dialogue with visible bug
Comment 2 Daniel Goldstein 2020-12-14 21:48:57 UTC 
Neither activating Open GL nor starting in safe mode made the problem go away.

print dialogue with visible bug

note: the format of the document pages is A5 - so 2 of them do fit in the print page format (unless, as in the preview, the print format reduces itself to A5)
Comment 4 Dieter 2020-12-29 10:53:04 UTC 
I confirm it with

Version: 7.0.4.2 (x64)
Build ID: dcf040e67528d9187c66b2379df5ea4407429775
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: threaded

and with

Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: 315c7570c4a72f4c834086082825533b1e50d1bf
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: threaded

Steps to reproduce
1. Open a multipage document with at least 3 pages (page size A5)
2. File => Print
3. Settings in Page Layout: Paper Size A4 | More => Pages per sheet: 2

Actual result:
Wrong preview

4. In preview click "Next page" arrow (Preview looks O.K.)
5. In preview click "Previous page" arrow (Preview looks O.K.)
