Dear All,

I would like to present the mentioned problem the other way round:

As a consequence of Bug 94698 (https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=94698) Kohei proposed a patch which was finally released with LibreOffice 3.3. This patch causes that Calc ignores manual breaks when "fit to number of pages" is set. However, this patch is based on a misconception of a series of ill posed user bug reports and on the wrong understanding that Excel ignores manual breaks too when using a similar scaling method.

Since others (bug 40613, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40613) and I myself (see bug 40788, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40788) are now missing the possibility to have the page breaks exactly where they are needed, I started to investigate the background of the patch and worked on a comparison to Excel and on the basic motivation for the "fit to number of pages" scaling mode. The analysis is lengthy and a litle complicated. So it took me three pages to write it down (see attachment to bug 40788 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=52240)

As a consequence I would like to propose to remove the patch of Kohei (return to the pre3.3 behavior) and to invent another solution for solving the remaining problems. Please have a look at my analysis and discuss the whole topic again considering my arguments.

Regards,
Karl
