            Bug ID: 134422
           Summary: Print dialog hides number of print copies since
                    v6.4.4.2 and makes handling of multi-copy prints
                    difficult
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.4.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Printing and PDF export
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Since I updated LO to 6.4.4.2, the print dialog no longer shows the number of
copies to be printed. You have to click the '[+] More' button in the 'Range and
Copies' section in order to disclose this part of the print dialog. This
disturbs the daily office routine when printing many documents with more than
one page.

I wonder if this change has been made because of bug #128495 where a user
complained about the height of the print dialog. But even in the smallest
height of the dialog, the view which contains the 'Number of copies' element
could be shown without any enlargement of the dialog. So this disclosed view
doesn't save space on the screen. Furthermore, there is no chance to save the
status of the '[+] More' button with the document or in a general settings
parameter.

This way, LO 6.4.4.2 makes the daily print work much more difficult.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create or load any document.
2. Open the Print dialog.
3. You'll see the '[+] More' button which hides the 'Number of copies' section.

Actual Results:
The 'Number of copies' section is basically hidden in every new or loaded
document.

Expected Results:
I would expect a central working dialog like the Print dialog to show as much
information about the current printing parameters as possible, because this is
one of the most used dialogs and shouldn't hide important parameters in hidden
subviews or tabs.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
The Print dialog should have shown the 'Number of copies' section like it did
before v6.4.4.2 of LO.
