Description stuckyb 2016-03-28 15:25:52 UTC
When printing slide handouts, Impress refuses to print in portrait orientation, even though the page payout for the handouts specifies portrait orientation.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Impress, create a new presentation.
2. Create 1 or more slides.
3. Switch to "Handout Master" view.
4. Go to Slide -> Page/Slide Properties to confirm that the page orientation is set to portrait.
5. Go to File -> Print and choose to print "Handouts" from the "Document" drop-down list.

The print preview will continue to show landscape orientation, as will the actual printout.  This is not a printer-specific issue, because even if I "Print to file", the output is still incorrect.

Thanks!

using distro Mageia 5 x86_64

I am unable to change to portrait orientation from landscape when printing handouts page. There is no "page" option under the Format Menu. Changing the orientation is not possible using the "properties" button under "Printer Settings" as the choices are greyed out. Changing from "Landscape" to "Portrait" under the Page Setup dialog also fails to change the printer orientation.

Reproduced in LO Impress. See screenshot: Handouts page is in landscape with slides falling off the bottom, option to rotate page is grayed out (across multiple printer installations).

@Buovjaga,
Might be a regression.. However, can't check.. Not able to repro this with my Ubuntu VM
Comment 9 Buovjaga 2018-03-13 19:27:38 UTC
Can't test in 3.6 because it crashes when I go to Handouts (incompatibility with the modern libraries).

Still repro on Linux 6.1, but not on Windows, so Linux-only.

@Buovjaga
This might be a workaround (not 100% sure)
File -> Print -> Impress tab -> select "Fit to printable page" instead of "Original size"

I am not the original reporter -- I originally reported Bug #116353 which was marked as a duplicate of this bug.

I just tested this and I am NOT seeing this behavior in Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS running LibreOffice 6.0.7.3 (from LTS repository) nor in LibreOffice 6.2.1.2 (most recent version installed in Ubuntu as a snap).

SO I am marking this as RESOLVED -- WORKSFORME as suggested.

BY THE WAY the LTS version exhibits a DIFFERENT bug (the slide layout order is not correct -- it doesn't order the slides left to right then down as specified) but that bug, too, seems to be fixed in the newer SNAP version.

Yep, it was fixed for 6.1: bug 99301

Original bug reporter here.  Thanks for following up on this, everyone.  I just tested this again in LibreOffice 6.0.7.3 Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS, and I can confirm that the bug appears to be fixed.  Thanks again!
