Description Phil Wolff 2012-01-14 11:54:04 UTC
Using Ubuntu 11.10, LibreOffice 3.4.4 OOO340m1 (Build:402)

In Tools->Options->LibreOffice Draw->Print, I have checked the Page name, Date, and Time boxes. These settings persist across invocations of Draw, as expected.

In File->Print, on the LibreOffice tab, the Page name and Date and time boxes come up unchecked, regardless of the settings in Tools->Options...

What is the purpose of having global options, if their values are ignored?

If I check the boxes in File->Print, do my printing, make some changes, and invoke File->Print again, the boxes are again initialized to unchecked.

This doesn't make any sense, either. Multiple print operations during the same instance of the application are very likely to demand the same option settings.

Thanks for bugreport
reproduced in 3.3.4 and 3.5.3 on Fedora 64 bit
IMHO looks like unfinished feature. UI added, but code not yet.

Changing version to 3.3.4 as most early reproducible

Reproducible with LO 4.4.1.2, Win 8.1
