Description gpbarentsen 2015-05-28 05:30:01 UTC
If you add a comment to a document and then select Print Preview, the comment will not appear in the previewed page format (however, it does appear when selecting Print and then using the arrow buttons to scroll through pages).

I'd say this is similar to Bug 77650 in terms of a need to unify comments behavior in printing.

So, expected result here would be:
- add Comments pulldown menu in Print Preview instant toolbar, similar to the current Comments pulldown menu in File-Print dialog
Comment 5 Fabian Rodriguez 2016-09-01 19:55:26 UTC
I'd also expect preview to show comments as set in comments preferences in Printer settings ... > Options (under Debian GNU/Linux, may differ in other platforms). As of version 5.1.5.2 the possible options are:

- None
- Comments only
- End of document
- End of page
- In margins

Same could be said about other settings in the Print > LibreOffice tab, e.g. "Images and other graphic objects".
It makes sense to me that a "Print preview" follows the current print settings closely, but such settings should be more exposed and obvious in the Print Preview UI so we don't end up with reports like "why are pictures not shown in the print preview?".
