Description art guerra 2014-04-10 17:07:08 UTC
When I try to insert a #10 envelope into a writer document, Writer will insert a custom 6x9 envelope in the document instead.

To replicate this error:

SELECT INSERT
CLICK ON ENVELOPE

select #10 envelope from the list
enter addressee and delivery address
select insert to document

when the envelope is inserted into the document, the size will change from a #10 envelope to a 6 x 9 custom envelope. 

I am currently using windows 8.1 along with a Brother MFC-295 inkjet printer.

At this time I am unable to print envelopes because of this error. Please fix asap.
Comment 1 art guerra 2014-04-17 02:39:18 UTC
Confirmed fixed in Apache Openoffice 4.1
Comment 2 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-06-05 05:08:58 UTC
I tested LibreOffice 4.2.4 on Linux Mint and Windows 7 and it looks the same as OpenOffice 4.1, so please upgrade to the latest version and verify if it has been corrected for you.
Comment 3 art guerra 2014-06-25 02:47:30 UTC
This error is still present in Libreoffice 4.2.5. See attachment.

This is a screenshot of the print dialog box showing a 6x9 envelope when #10 was originally selected.

Hi Art,

I went into the print dialog and it shows me 8.27in x 5.83in for PrimoPDF, but if i select Fax or Microsoft XPS Document Writer, it shows me 9.50in x 4.13in. So i believe your brother printer is changing the size.
Comment 6 art guerra 2014-06-25 16:58:38 UTC
Jay,

I will check to see if my printer is the issue. However I am not the only one who is having this issue. Please see the following bug reports:

75449 (using LO 4.3)
Comment 7 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-06-26 05:22:43 UTC
Hi Art,

Your initial bug report stated it was inserted into the document with the wrong size. If this is the issue, please do a print screen of how it looks in the window. If its an issue of printing the document in your printer, that is most likely being changed by your printer.

I am having this same issue. OS Linux Mint 17; Libreoffice Version: 4.2.5.2

Comment 10 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-07-13 15:33:57 UTC
@Art: Any updates?

@rhanksjr: how does it look when you select the CUPS pdf printer?
Comment 11 art guerra 2014-07-14 01:49:12 UTC
Hey Jay,

I tried working with my printer settings as well as the libreoffice settings and nothing worked to fix the problem. I tried changing to a different envelope size and got the same error. Finally, I tried changing my printer from my current printer to a paperport pdf printer and the issue remained. 

Thanks

Hi Art,

As i dont use have a printer, i will be unable to verify this issue, but i've asked individuals in the QA team who have a printer to do so. Hopefully we can get this verified by one of them and fixed soon.

If you wouldnt mind, could you test that the behaviour is there in version 3.3.0. You wont need to install it, as there is a portable version at this link < http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/3.3.0.4/portable/ >.

Comment 14 Marc Pare 2014-07-14 13:49:58 UTC
Hi Art and all,

I saw the request to verify on the QA list.

It looks OK on my setup. attachment up above this comment. 

LibreOffice 4.3.02, MageiaLinux4, Brother Print HL2040
Comment 15 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-07-14 14:36:27 UTC
Thanks Marc for checking it, but you have to go into the print dialog to test this, as shown in attachment 101713 [details] and attachment 102681 [details].
Comment 16 art guerra 2014-07-15 01:06:14 UTC
Jay,

I tried it using 3.3.0.4 as you suggested and received the same error. I did notice that if you click on envelope on the bottom of the screen, it will bring up the envelope style screen. On this screen, the page setup shows a user defined page instead of a #10 envelope. If I change this to #10 the correct size will appear on writer but the text boxes will be off due to the previous settings from the insert envelope screen.

Thanks 

Art

Comment 21 Marc Pare 2014-07-15 06:29:22 UTC
Hi everyone and Jay, here are 4 screenshots with the measurements.. 

Something strange, my Mageia system will sometimes pick out 2 instances of the same printer/network printer. But in this case, it looks like one driver is creating a #10 envelope size to correct dimensions and the second driver for the same printer is creating a #10 envelope with the wrong size. Have a look at my drivers for my Brother HL4020 and my Samsung SCX-4200.

Maybe this could be one of the problems with the bug. The #10 evenlope size and dimensions are being skewed by the printer driver?

Marc

I'm using LibreOffice 4.3.2.2 on opensuse Factory (13.2). I've been experiencing the same problem with ubuntu 14.04, kubuntu 14.04, opensuse 12.3 & 13.1, beginning with LibreOffice version 4.2.1. Currently using Brother MFC-9340CDW laser all-in-one.

Cannot reproduce in 4.2.6.3 on ubuntu 14.04.
Comment 26 tommy27 2014-10-27 06:28:12 UTC
this bug seems related to the use of a Brother printer (adding it to summary)

@Marc Pare
so do you reproduce the bug with a Brother printer but not with a Samsung printer, is that correct?

@Chad Condon
please define your printer brand and model

Libre 5 on Linux 32 bit Brother printer - page layout would not change from C6. Saved as a .doc and opened on Libre 5 Linux 64 and envelope displayed and printed as a #10 as originally requested on 32 bit machine.

Removing "Brother" from summary, as this now catches several makes and models.

Seeing the various duplicates and related bugs, and given that it affects printing, I wouldn't call this "low -minor". Bumping the importance.
Comment 38 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2024-05-14 11:33:29 UTC
I only get a wrong page size by using the orientations "Vertical Left" (9.50″ × 8.26″) and "Vertical Center" (9.50″ × 6.19″) in the Printer tab of the Envelope dialog. The four other options result in the correct 9.50″ × 4.13″ size. Which is what is described in bug 107150.
Can users affected here check that this happens regardless of that setting?

I've confirmed taht this behavior is mostly accurate for my setup, even after deleting my config files in %appdata%/LibreOffice/ after updating from v7.4.

The difference on my system is that I get 9.50"x8.50", top margin 4.38" for Vertical Left and 9.50"x6.31", top margin 2.19" for Vertical Center
