Steps: 1) Open Writer 2) Ctrl+P 3) Click the 'Details' label underneath the printer list 4) Notice the page preview to the left refreshes Regression as this doesnt happen in 4.0.6. Likely caused by the conversion to the new UI. Version: 4.5.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: e570cd7a293ceee175949dcc9656cdf776ae3c37 TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86@45-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2014-12-12_18:49:54
Thanks - there are more moments where refreshing happens in this dialog that I've the idea that it's unneeded.
Reproducible with LO 4.4.0.0.beta1 (Win 8.1). But I don't know if this refresh is necessary (I am not a programmer). But what I also recognized is that, after the refresh the page preview border gets broken. Do you have the same?

Would be good to figure those ones out to have them all in the bug report. :D (In reply to A (Andy) from comment #2) > But what I also recognized is that, after the refresh the page preview > border gets broken. Do you have the same? Not happening here on Linux. Maybe put in a screenshot. :D

Within the range mentioned in comment 4, there are the below two commits which have some effect on the empty document case (rendering the preview gets somewhat slower) However it seems easy enough to produce the same effect even before the range in question with a sufficiently complex document. It was never instant even before these commits. Given that, I'm not sure if there's anything much to be done here commit 9058681a8d4f52db18f094994b231e719e9bb6eb Author: Tomaž Vajngerl <quikee@gmail.com> AuthorDate: Sun Mar 3 20:49:18 2013 +0100 Commit: Tomaž Vajngerl <quikee@gmail.com> CommitDate: Sun Mar 3 20:57:02 2013 +0100 Better quality previews in print dialog. Make a fixed size bitmap of the current document for preview in print dialog. The bitmap is scaled when the dialog is resized, which is faster and better quality as it uses "BEST" scaling method for resizing the bitmap.

There are no Details in new print dialog (which itself may be a bug but I've never used it myself so I won't report). I'll close. IF someone objects or reproduces this, please set again New.
(In reply to Timur from comment #9) > There are no Details in new print dialog (which itself may be a bug but I've > never used it myself so I won't report). > I'll close. IF someone objects or reproduces this, please set again New. For me, the Preview in the current print dialog refreshes only when a printer with different page-settings is selected. So WorksForMe.
