In the past I could correct the envelope from "User" to "#10" envelope and the size would become correct. However, after the latest LibreOffice update to Version: 6.4.0.3 the envelope now has a header that is impossible to get rid of. LibreOffice is now totally useless for printing envelopes. For the record, my preferred printer is a Brother MFC-L2710DW but the problem is also present with both of my other printers; Brother HL-2140 and Brother MFC-J430W.
