I really get the objection, and it's not my first choice either. However, the
current one is awfully big. You can hide stuff behind more (but always out of
sight), so people can't find it.. mor expand it to look what it does, and it
won't fit on screen. 

My alternative (already proposed)
(a) shrink the list of 'range of copy's. So instead of vertical list/ more
horizontal. Comment 7/ and my quick and dirty reshuffle
(b) Removing the 'more"  expander space 
(c) Page per sheet -> custom -> settings maybe hidden in a dialog instead of
expanding below

This should be enough for MacOS/Windows to fit on screen with everything one
screen. However, not sure about GTK3/GEN/QT5. And I'm slightly out of idea's...
the tab thing is more the last resort.

Number of copy's box could be reduced in size, but sure what to benefit would
be.
And the orientation and paper size is less of a requirement from my point of
view. I'm used to use printer properties for that.

BTW, if we start redesign it again. Can the somewhat useless 'More options
button' be removed too. It has only one setting which belongs to Collate
anyhow. I expected multitude of options, not a single one :-)
