Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: Am alternative print range selection algorithm

Just to make this more clear:
1. The print preview (Ctrl + Shift + o) is just a other view of the
document, and doesn't open a dialog
2. The print dialog (Ctrl + p), which contains a little preview too.

No. I was just talking about the print dialog, where you can select the
range of printed documents. As I read your bug, it was about the print
dialog.

That's also not a new problem from the patch, but when I looked for the
crash I originally thought it was related.

And I actually can't use the scroll wheel correctly - just load the odt
from https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=122351

The scroll bar says it scrolls to page 83, but it actually stops at page
41. This also happens in LO 4.1.

Yup (1). It's already in the print dialog on the "LibreOffice Writer"
page. I just want to move it to the general page in the "range and
copies" area. I'm not referring to any settings here.

Obviously we would have to hide it for non-writer documents, as the
general page is AFAIK also used in all other LO programs, which don't
have an "hidden empty page problem".

Yup (1)
