I totally agree. However, I remember that this was intended as a feature, s.a.
<a href="https://gist.github.com/danielfaleiro/992aa39557f8475b8f4daa3af4bb3052">https://gist.github.com/danielfaleiro/992aa39557f8475b8f4daa3af4bb3052</a> : "In
Writer, printer page orientation is now synchronized with document orientation.
That means that if you select page orientation in print dialog, the document
will adapt to the new orientation. There is no need to close the print dialog,
go to Format->Page, set the orientation you want to print and then reopen print
dialog."
I think it might make sense to discuss again whether that's actually a good
idea...
(Adding Mike in CC, since he also mentioned he considered this as a bug rather
than a feature at the above github page. @Mike: Please apologize and
unsubscribe again if you're not interested.)
@Daniel: What do you think? Would it be OK in your opinion to no longer modify
the document based on settings made in the print dialog?
The same happens on Linux, by the way.
As far as the "Use only paper size from printer" preference is concerned: For
Linux, this option is still available when you click in the device-specific
options you see when you click on the "Properties" button. (So I'd say that's
totally fine for the Linux case). I don't know about Windows, though. Is that
option there as well?</pre>
