Environment: Arch Linux, libreoffice-fresh and libreoffice-fresh-fr installed, package version 7.1.1-1 Gnome desktop environment set in France/French in the Country and Language parameters /etc/locale.conf: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=fr_FR:fr Excepted: When opening LibreOffice Writer (but also Draw and all), the default document should be in the default local paper format for my country and language, which is A4. Result: All documents are in the US Letter format, which of course messes up printing the document. I double checked in the options Writer is using the default locale (reported as "French (France)"). The paper size is part of the locale: $ locale -k LC_PAPER height=297 width=210 I can't remember when it started to drift. It used to "just work" so I didn't have to check and correct the paper size on every document I create. Please note I was pretty sure I already opened a similar bug, but I can't find it either here or on the Arch Linux bug tracker, even in closed bugs.
does not seem to be affected by FR locale https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/i18nutil/source/utility/paper.cxx?r=651e9e72#426 https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/i18nutil/source/utility/paper.cxx?r=651e9e72#223
I wonder if it's related, but Calc no longer writes numbers with a comma from the numeric keypad (the decimal separator is the comma in French). Quite annoying when I do accountancy.
Same on: Version: 7.1.3.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 10(Build:2) CPU threads: 6; OS: Linux 5.10; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: fr-FR 7.1.3-2 Calc: threaded Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.82.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.10.42-1-MANJARO OS Type: 64-bit Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 6 × AMD Ryzen 5 4500U with Radeon Graphics Memory: 7.3 Gio of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD RENOIR Problem recently discovered, may be after an update: LO creates Letter-sized documents by default, language being on default option (french France). Problem solved by choosing explicitly french France in the drop-down list. Repeatable. Note that my really-A4 printer was set to Letter at the same time, but ressetting to A4 did not change the default behavior in LO (first thing I tried).
Laurent: thought you might be interested in this one since you fixed tdf#143956. The weird thing here is this the exact contrary of tdf#143956.
From comments, only reported on Linux. I tested in 7.1: - with default UI language (en-US) but FR locale - with FR for both UI and locale Format > Page style in a new document is always A4. Version: 7.1.0.3 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: f6099ecf3d29644b5008cc8f48f42f4a40986e4c CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: fr-FR (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded I also tested the upcoming 7.5 version, with both options as above, still not able to reproduce. A4 is the default. Version: 7.5.0.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 77cd3d7ad4445740a0c6cf977992dafd8ebad8df CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: fr-FR (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Herve and Philippe, are you please able to test again with a version that is currently supported (for example 7.4), with a fresh user profile, and let us know if you can still see the issue?
Hi, I'm the OP. I since switched to another distribution (Fedora), and I cannot reproduce this anymore. LibreOffice Writer opens a blank A4 document when I open it.
Thanks Hervé! Marking as "resolved - works for me", but if Philippe still sees the issue, feel free to set to "unconfirmed" again.
