[Bug 24785] Re: page layout settings not respected in preview and printing

[Martin Bergner]

I agree, I changed it according to your comment and marked bug 6443 and
all of its duplicates a duplicate on that one here.

I changed the description to be more accurate, I also confirmed, looking
at the duplicates

** Bug 6735 has been marked a duplicate of this bug

** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #334719
   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334719

** Description changed:

  In applications that use libgnomeprint2.2 (I tried abiword and gnumeric) layout
  settings are not respected when I preview a page or actually print it. In
  particular, If I change the 'portrait' to 'landscape', in preview mode my page
  is rotated 90 degrees (good) but my text is rotated as well (not good). As a
  result, nothing happens. Then, when I print it, my printer confirms my preview.
  
  Right now, I have to reboot into Debian Sarge to print certain gnumeric sheets
  because I don't know how to work around this nasty bug.
+ 
+ Here is a more detailed description from the upstream gnome bug #334719
+ :
+ 
+ 1.  Have spreadsheet.
+ 2.  Goto page setup.
+ 3.  Change page orientation to Landscape.
+ 4.  Click on OK to accept.
+ 5.  Goto print preview.
+ 6.  Page appears in landscape mode, but text/data appears in portrait mode.
+ 7.  Close print preview.  Goto page setup.
+ 8.  Change feed orientation to Rotated 90 Degrees.
+ 9.  Goto print preview.
+ 10. Text/data now appears to be printing correctly.
+ 11. Goto print (whether to physical printer [Samsung ML-2010] or PDF file) and
+ page will print incorrectly in portrait mode.

** Changed in: libgnomeprint (Ubuntu)
       Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed
