Description bunkem 2024-02-28 15:25:54 UTC
Description:
When printing to PDF or printer, LO Calc's print dialog box is showing the correct page size (in this case Letter) but shows all measurements in metric rather than the imperial (inch) measurement system selected in LO and also the system default of imperial on Windows.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set system default to inches (imperial)
2.Set LO preferences/options to show inch in all options including LO Calc
3.Open an xlxs or ods spreadsheet in Calc
4.Press Printer button or File:Print with a spreadsheet open.
5.Note that the Page Layout dialog box shows Letter 216mm x 279mm.

Actual Results:
Page Layout dialog box shows Letter 216mm x 279mm.

Expected Results:
Page Layout dialog box shows Letter 8.5in x 11in.


Reproducible: Always

@bunkem: How did you get page layout showing in inch? I only get cm here.

Might be this is a mesurement of your whole system, not of LibreOffice. This could only be shown in listboxes, which will reproduce this measurement. It won't be shown in a text content like the page layout information in print dialog.

@Robert: I'm not sure.  My system is set up to Imperial (inch) measurements and I've changed all the user settings for Writer, Calc, Impress, Base to be Imperial (inch) also.

In all the other dialog boxes in LO, the measurement system is inch.  So it was just very strange to find metric in the print dialog.
