           Summary: PRINTING: Print (preview) wrong on Brochure with
                    custom page size
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer

Description:
This is a very tricky bug to explain, as its behaviour seems random to me, but
I will try my best.

I have a booklet fully written in LO Writer in odt format. The page size is
non-standard, 142x102mm, set accordingly in the page layout -> page size.

What I want is to print the booklet as a Brochure, using the option from the
print dialog box, at actual size on A4 paper. I mean NO scaling. Just 2 pages
side by size according to brochure rules.

If I select paper size A4 and Brochure, the orientation is now grayed-out (I
cannot select orientation) and the pages appear cropped in the preview. If I
print the pages they are printed cropped, like in the preview. See the images
attached.

What I expect is to be able to select my orentation, and thus the Brochure
pages to be centered on the A4 page. Not scaled, not moved, just in the center
at the page size of 142x102mm each.

Sometimes it gets worse when changing the print options from pages per sheet to
brochure and vice-versa.
The behaviour on the real-print and also the preview is acting randomly if the
paper size is changed.

Version: 7.1.4.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: a529a4fab45b75fefc5b6226684193eb000654f6
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: ro-RO (ro_RO); UI: en-US
Calc: CL

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attaced odt
2. Go to print dialog
3. Change to brochure
4. Inspect print preview
5. Change to pages per sheet (1 page), then change to brochure again. Inspect
print preview again.
6. Change paper size. Inspect print preview again.
7. Notice how it behaves and how the print preview and the actual print is
cropped. (You can print to PDF to confirm).

Actual Results:
Pages are cropped and not centered. Orientation dropdown is inactive.

Expected Results:
Orientation should be available to be changed. Pages should not exceed paper
bounds and be centered on the page, actual size.


Reproducible: Always
