Created attachment 118349 [details] Format -> Page settings Version: 5.0.1.2 Build-ID: 81898c9f5c0d43f3473ba111d7b351050be20261 Gebietsschema: de-DE (de.UTF-8) OS X 10.10.5 1. Create new calc document. 2. Go to Format -> Page 3. Set orientation to "horizontal" (see screenshot) 4. Confirm. 5. Do cmd+P 6. The preview in the LibreOffice area of the printing dialogue presents horizontal orientation of the as horizontal defined calc page, the preview of the OS printing dialogue shows vertical orientation of the complete calc page. 7. On opening the document in OS X preview, the whole page is shown, but in vertical view. It should open in horizontal view. This is incorrect. I haven't seen this behavior in any other OS X app that allows printing pages.

Confirming. The double page preview is also a LO specialty. Word does not do that. Guess it would be a good idea to simplify the print dialog. Since I recall Jay asking me for screenshots of Word, Pages, LO print dialogs adding him to cc: since he might have something to add here.

I think focus should not be on how Word does something or does not. An app written for OS X should adhere to its rules - especially when it come to the most basic system functions. There are much more bugs with the print preview in LO calc, because the OS Print dialogue preview in PDF yields a completely different PDF rendering than when exporting to PDF from calc. I will file another case with that. It is almost ridiculous. (In reply to steve -_- from comment #2) > Confirming. The double page preview is also a LO specialty. Word does not do > that.

Nico, absolutely agree, but since the OSX devs from LO are rare to none existant all the rambling will not help. freedomsponsoring a bug might help https://freedomsponsors.org/ Otherwise sit and wait or learn how to code is all we can do.
** 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 on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (5.1.5 or 5.2.1 https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System 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) 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: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

so macOS preview w excel landscape document persisting. excel also using the macOS default print dialog. but in the case of excel user is seeing a landscape paper in the print preview. so LO should be able to do the same.
Dear Steve, I totally agree that rambling is not the premier method. But you will admit that the document foundation advertises a working stable version for OS X. Thus anyone expects it to adhere to basics for the operating system advertised. The conclusion is not to argue that OS X developers are rare, but to state clearly on the website that LibreOffice currently cannot be maintained appropriately for OS X thus it containing a lot of bugs that might make it not appropriate for production - or the hint to switch to windows or a virtual machine.. That is something anyone understands, and I absolutely have no problem with that. Or what is your opinion on how to attract OS X users to LibreOffice ? Thanks for listening.

You set the bug to WORKSFORME. In which version are you no longer seeing the bug? I agree with you that the quality of the so called "stable" LO release is debatable for macOS platform. I tend to just use a recent master build since it contains the most recent fixes, but that is not a startegy recommended for productive usage either. I am not sure about the way out of this misery. With macOS usage growing worldwide sooner or later this will become a serious problem for LO. But I am not to decide how money is invested or tenders for which areas are going to be created.
This is in 5.2.3.3 / d54a8868f08a7b39642414cf2c8ef2f228f780cf I must add that the page orientation of the *content* will be correct in relation to the chosen page orientation in Format -> Page. But the presentation of how the page looks like in the print dialogue is always portrait. Also the exported PDF or the saved PDF through the front dialogue will open always in Portrait mode, hence needs to be rotated 90 degrees in any PDF-viewer. Furthermore the PDF rendering through print and Export is significantly different, usually through the print dialogue it is inferior. This is a behavior other apps i use do not have. Opinion: Regarding the misery of LO quality - the way out of the misery has already taken place: Users in productive context have left the LO-platform as IT-guys tell me. And that is for any operating system for simple reasons: LO is only compatible if all participants stay in the native LO file format LO file format already is not compatible to full extent to OpenOffice OpenOffice development has stopped over a year ago for economic reasons Compatibility with MS Office universe su**s. It leaves the impression of being just a bad copy of it. Hence it's a no brainer to buy the Office 365 plan (which is cheap) and being 100% compatible with business inverinmonets, not mentioning Sharepoint, Exchange and so on… IMHO the presented concepts of Word- and table-processing are outdated technology and paradigms. Doing a table in calc to look reasonable printed is a full house of pain. What a relief are Numbers and Pages in that respect, although lacking some functionality. And even Ragtime outperforms Office in most areas because of its fundamental powerful setup. Let's see what 2017 brings up. (In reply to steve -_- from comment #12) > You set the bug to WORKSFORME.
