Description ewblen 2024-06-10 11:08:25 UTC
Description:
On first opening the print dialog and selecting 2 pages per sheet, the preview shows 2 small portrait pages stacked vertically on a portrait paper.  (I didn't try printing this to see if it is a true representation)

Closing the dialog and reopening gives the expected result of showing 2 portrait pages next to each other on landscape paper.

Another user's report of the problem with screenshots is here https://www.reddit.com/r/libreoffice/comments/1akxtna/problem_with_print_multiple_pages_in_242/

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open print dialog
2. Select Pages per sheet: 2

Actual Results:
the preview shows 2 small portrait pages stacked vertically on a portrait paper.

Expected Results:
preview shows 2 portrait pages next to each other on landscape paper.


Reproducible: Sometimes

No problem for me in the print dialog preview area with 24.2 or latest master with gtk3, but I don't have a physical printer installed.
Comment 3 Buovjaga 2024-08-16 14:52:17 UTC
But let's set to NEW per the confirmation on Reddit.

ewblen: do you also have a Brother printer?
