In this release, how many copies you want printed is concealed under the 'More' drop down section of 'Range and Copies'. As that's a common thing for people to want to alter as well as literally part of the section title, it should be restored to being visible by default. I don't remember this being hidden by default in the previous version that Ubuntu had.

Find no issue with layout of the print dialog 'Range and Copies' and 'Page Layout' supplemented with their 'More' exposure triangles. What is visible suffices and are core to configuring the print job. While the 'Number of copies' field would not fit cleanly on the default panel, and is not relevant to core task of configuring what to print. It can't all fit so the 'More' extenders are necessary anyway and the copies count is fine there. IMHO => WF
Scrolled window and collapsed content was added for bug 127782. While moving the number of pages out of the expanded section is easy to do, it detaches this property from the associated collate and order options. If we show all reaching the paper size and orientation requires scrolling. Please keep in mind that we aim to run on devices with small screens and the dialog must not grow in size.
Sorry for being a bit dense, but - I'm not seeing this issue manifest at all: When I open the "Print..." dialog, the General tab, which is the selected one by default, has a number-of-copies box: https://i.imgur.com/XHTGE6H.png (using a 7.6 nightly) So - Ian, where are you seeing this?

I see what you do, but only if I expand the 'more' section. See the two screenshots...
We discussed the topic in the design meeting. Changing the number of print copies is a more common use case that printing either odd or even pages. The suggestion is to either move this item out of the collapsible section or switch with odd/even in case the space is not sufficient. Separating the depending properties is acknowledged and accepted. Additionally we suggest to rename the first "More" to "Collation and Paper Size", and the second to "Pages per Sheet".
