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
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

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

Dear Stéphane Aulery,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
