--- Comment #7 from francois.dubeau at prose.qc.ca ---
Current OS is 11.0.1 (20B50), but bug was also present in previous version of
OS 10.13.6

Bug is also present on Calc (spreadsheet) and Draw.

I dug around on my system and I might have found the source of the problem, but
not the solution.

For some reason, and I don't quite understand why, the default setting on my
system is set at "Landscape". In all applications, not just LibreOffice, when
you select the print dialogue, the print layout is by default at landscape.
That is not a big issue as in all apps, you just click the button to flip it
back to portrait. All apps except LibreOffice, where there is no button to flip
from landscape to portrait in the print menu. LibreOffice seems to take the
values from the "default settings" file. In mac os, you can not change the
values in the "Default Settings" print preset file. I created a new preset file
with "portrait" as the default, named it "default settings-1" (because the
system doesn't allow you to overwrite or modify the "Default Setting" file),
and I can select this new preset in all apps to fix the issue. Except
LibreOffice, where choosing any print preset file does nothing.

It seems LibreOffice will only take the values from the "Default Settings"
file.
