Description: After fresh installation of LibreOffice Suite, the default page format is US Letter. In our country (Slovakia) it should be A4. So i must always create default template using format A4. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install libreoffice-fresh package 2.Run Writer Actual Results: Default page format is set to "Letter". Expected Results: Set default page format based on actual system locale, in my opinion A4 for slovak(SK) locale. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Output of "localectl status" command: System Locale: LANG=sk_SK.UTF-8 VC Keymap: sk-qwerty X11 Layout: sk
The same for many other locales.
As this is on Linux, could it be bug 106963, see also bug 81821?
Wondering if that has to do with the fix for bug 143956. Laurent, what do you think? vvd, which operating system and version are you using? prescott66, were you using a version that worked as expected before 7.5.0.3?
I am using Manjaro Linux (up-to-date) and LibreOffice Fresh 7.5.0.3
