In KDE 4.7 I have the system settings paper size set to A4. Despite this, Writer insists on using Letter for all new documents. Furthermore, there is no way to set the default paper size in Writer for all new documents.
I see that this bug was recently changed to status NEEDINFO. What information do you need? The distribution is Kubntu Linux, I have experienced this issue in all versions including the latest LTS release 14.04.

It's just that Bugzilla does not allow to change from NEW to UNCONFIRMED directly. Someone has to confirm this independently before it can be set to NEW.
@Dotan please retest using latest 4.3.5.2 release and tell if bug is still present when done, revert status to UNCONFIRMED if the bug is still present or change it to RESOLVED WORKSFORME if the bug is gone.

Thank you. The bug is reproducible in Kubuntu 15.04 with LO version 4.4.
@Dotan thanks 4 feedback. now we need another Linux user to confirm it.

The paper size for a text document is defined by the page format. The default page size is defined in the default page style. To change the default page style, you have to define your own default template. See the documentation about default template: https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Changing_the_Default_Template For me, it is not a bug if Writer does not get the default page size from the default paper size in the printer. AFAIK Writer get the default page size from the locale (Letter in USA, A4 in Europe, etc.). Best regards. JBF
Hi! I'm getting the same behavior as comment #0. Changing locale settings on KDE does not change default paper size on LibO. On KDE System Settings there is a value for "Paper size" on "Locale"->"Other" tab. The help menu says that this option is for creating new documents and not related to printer paper size. Changing this value makes no change on LibO about starting a new text document. I know that using the method mentioned by JBF on comment #7 is fine for setting the default template, but he also says that LibO should detect paper size on behalf of the Locale Settings.

@Carlos has the situation changed with LibO 5.1.2.2 or 5.2 alpha?
** Please read this message in its entirety before responding ** 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 http://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 Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.freenode.net/#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

I am unable to find this setting in the current KDE Plasma. According to this thread https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/532281-KDE-applications-always-print-A4-paper-size it should be in System settings>Regional settings>Formats, but it seems the setting has been removed. However, if you check the last messages in the openSUSE thread, they point to this unresolved Qt bug: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-71600 It might not be the cause for this LibreOffice issue, though.
Dear Dotan Cohen, KDE4 support has been dropped in LibreOffice 6.3. Could you please try to reproduce it with LibreOffice 6.3 Beta1 from https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/GetInvolved#Test_Pre-releases ? You can install it alongside the standard version. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'NEW' if the bug is still present in the master build
I'm with OpenSuse Thumbleweed. As described in Comment 12. Workaround for older system Comment 7. Looking at Comment 13, I think it's safe to close.
