Hi!
Sorry for being so slow in replying. I have just now tested this out, and
all the behaviours reported are still happening with the version in Etch
2.0.4, and with the version in Sid, 2.2.1
My original report included more than one bug... And some are more serious
than others. Here's a list, in order of severity.
1) "Suppress output of empty pages" is not selected by default.
I can't believe that this is still true. I cannot think of ANY
usecase where it would be useful to print empty pages. Specially taking
into account that the default spreadsheed includes 3 sheets, and most
people just use the first one. Thus, without checking this box, having
a tendency to print 2 useless empty pages. I'd say this is an
_important_ bug.
2) Selecting a printing range affects all Sheets, not just the one where
the printing range is selected.
This means that if you select a printing range in one sheet, you need
to either delete it or select a printing range for all sheets, if you
want to print what's in the other sheets. I'd say this is a _normal_
bug.
3) "Print only selected sheets" is not selected by default.
This is not that bad, but is also quite bothersome. Since the expected
behaviour is that pressing the "Print" button will print the selected
page. I'd say this is a _minor_ bug.
4) The print preview doesn't take into account the "Print only selected
sheets" option.
This is a bit shocking, since one is expecting to see whatever is going
to be printed in the Print Preview, and nothing else. But, it's not as
bad as the others, so this would be _wishlist_, or maybe _minor_.
I'm really surprised that all these flaws have survived such a long time,
since I find all of them pretty bothering. However, I also know that it's
not Debian's duty to fix these. These should all be sent upstream.
Thanks a lot, and sorry again for the late reply.
