Description Ernst de Haan 2005-12-28 15:01:44 UTC
The 'Orientation' option is missing on the 'Print Options' dialog in openoffice-2.0.1. To me, this is a serious problem, since it keeps me from creating brochures.

If I'm not mistaking, this bug was introduced in or right after OpenOffice.org 1.9.121, but should be fixed in 2.0.1.

Note that this problem does not exist in the binary-only sister, openoffice-bin-2.0.1 !

Can confirm that, bad. So most likely this is caused by one of the ooo-build patches, so now we "just" have to find out, which one it is...

Just talked to some devs, this has been removed by intent, please see:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=83925

Quoting from there:

"So - you just need to use Format->Page :-)
We binned the setting in the printer dialog since it doesn't work reliably and
causes even more confusion."
