Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 84273
Default for "Print only selected sheets" is not intuitive
Last modified: 2008-07-15 21:54:21 UTC
If my print preview shows two pages and I request that page two be printed, any sane person would expect that page two is printed. With the current default for "Print only selected sheets", nothing is printed. This violates the Principle of Least Surprise
The reasons this default is causing so many problems are: 1. The default for print only selected sheets is clearly visible in the Excel print menu, so it doesn't surprise as much as OpenOffice does. 2. When "Print only selected sheets" is selected, Print Preview in OpenOffice should only show the selected sheet - Excel already does this, again, minimizing surprise.
This is covered by Issue 82071 and therefore a duplicate. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 82071 ***
