Description Stéphane Aulery 2022-12-21 02:59:13 UTC
Description:
I created a drawing intended to be 3 letter-size pages wide then attempted to print it 
using the Distribute on multiple sheets of paper print option. When I select this option,
the preview pane shows the drawing being rendered incorrectly and printing across 6 pages,
instead of the 3 that it should require.

Steps to Reproduce:
I followed these steps to replicate the behaviour:

* Open LibreOffice Draw.
* File → Open; select the example document “Open House arrows.odg”
  (from message #10).
  The document opens and looks fine.
* File → Print
  The Print dialogue box appears.
    The small preview pane shows:
    * width “216 mm (Letter)”, height “279 mm”.
    * “1/1” in the navigation control, implying one page to print.
  * LibreOffice Draw → Size → Distribute on multiple sheets of paper
    The small preview pane shows:
    * width “216 mm (Letter)”, height “279 mm”.
    * “1/6” in the navigation control, implying six pages to print.
  * Navigate the preview pane through the pages.

  * Options → Options → Print to file.
  * Print to File, select a PDF filename in the Save dialogue.
* Open the generated PDF document.

Actual Results:
Both the Print preview pane, and the generated PDF document, show the
same problem originally reported:

* The document content appears to spread too wide, extending beyond
  the width of 3 pages.

* The document content appears correct height in the first three
  pages.

* Three extra pages are generated, containing a small portion of the
  bottom of the first three pages near the top of each extra page.


Expected Results:
3 pages on preview and printed document only.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
Found with 5.0.3 on Debian.
Also reproduced with 7.4.3 on Windows.

I can confirm, that it uses 6 paper sheets instead of 3. Depending on the printer I see 4 pages with cut arrow tips too. I have tested it with Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 9b46020c262045aed0beace4708565235c2523cc

But PDF works for me. Use File > Export > PDF. Then use the "Poster" option from Acrobat Reader.
