Description libretist 2024-01-15 23:03:11 UTC
Description:
Out of the box, there is a "landscape" page style, but no equivalent "portrait" page style. Please add.

Steps to Reproduce:
#### Steps to reproduce the issue in LibreOffice Writer:

1. insert > more breaks > manual break


Actual Results:
in the "page style" drop down list, you see "landscape" but not "portrait"

Expected Results:
I'd expect to see both (out-of-the-box):
1) for the sake of consistency (if there is a landscape, logically there should also be portrait)
2) If I create a portrait document (so page 1 is landscape) and then want to continue with portrait on page 2, I have to select "first page" as the page style for the manual break -- which is weird, because it actually is NOT the first page, but the second page!
(There might be some inner logic to that terminology, but for beginners it's very confusing and drives them away from using your product.)


Reproducible: Always

To clarify:
In the description above
« I'd expect to see both (out-of-the-box) »
means
« I'd expect to see both "landscape" and "portrait" page styles out-of-the-box »

Not a bug. There is no page style "Portrait" by default. Please have a look at list of page styles in sidebar. "Default Page Style" has portrait orientation. And of course you can create your own page style and name it "Portrait"
