--- Comment #36 from Telesto  ---
Not so font of the suggestions proposed in bug 139164 comment 21 (also posted
here under comment 35)

I'm more in favor the suggestion in comment 26, more specific: split print/PDF
button in toolbar "print selection". The split button might also be a 'swap'
'toggle button'. So if select 'print selection' the button will be defaulted to
'selection', until you switch it back. If you want to export/print selections
repeatedly (or wanting it to be the 'default')

The same system is already present for the shapes and highlight/character color
button in toolbar. You pick a different shape/color, and the shape/color will
be default..

--- Comment #35 from Telesto  ---
>From bug 139164 comment 21
We discussed this topic in the design meeting.

Printing or exporting a selection is sometimes desired and sometimes
accidentally. The preselection is a convenience feature and at least for
printing easy to spot. 

However, the large number of tickets and discussion around this topic
contradicts this view. And there are a number of possible solutions:

1. Show a confirmation dialog (bug 54908 comment 26)
This might be annoying if users intentionally want to print selections. It
might be solved by
1.a a checkbox "[x] Ask for confirmation" that could be missing in the next
session when printing a selection is not the goal, and
1.b [x] Ask for confirmation during the session" could solve it by saving this
answer for the session only

2. Use a highlighting color for automatically selected options, eg. show
"Selection" in red
It has some drawbacks on special themes, is not a11y conform, and might not be
clear enough

3. Add an extra command for "Export Selection to PDF"
Easy to understand and to realize but bloats the menu. 
3.a As an improvement it could be on the context menu only (and print/export
would always be for the whole document)
3.b Another idea is to rename the command conditionally if a selection is
active

And please note comment 25. Remember that the actual problem was the removal of
the *dialog* asking if the current selection should be printed, or the whole
document. I suppose that the reasonably sane solution would be restoring that
dialog, and have a "don't show again (remember my choice)" in it. Or a separate
command to pring selection.

--- Comment #32 from Eyal Rozenberg  ---
So, now that this has been reopened, I would like to draw everyone's attention
to the discussion on bug 139164, which asked for the reversion.

Specifically, comment 21 there summarizes suggestions at the design meeting
regarding how to possibly satisfy both requests reasonably.

Now, let me address the latest comments on the discussion there:

(In reply to Telesto from comment #47)

That's a good point actually. In Calc, the spreadsheet is by default extremely
large (even if the empty cells don't count until you edit them). Plus, it's
two-dimensional, while pages have a very limited width. That makes it more
likely for people to want to mark a range of cells and print just that.

Looking at Calc, though, I don't even see the possibility of only printing the
selection.

> to me

That's exactly right! There is an unknown, but not tiny, number of people who
want "print selection" as the default when selecting, and an unknown, but not
tiny, number of people who want "print everything" as the default. So the pot
and the kettle are both somewhat black, hence the need to at least consider a
compromise to not leave one side 100% unsatisfied.

(In reply to ⁨خالد حسني⁩ from bug 139164, comment #48)
> I don’t see any convincing argument for the behavior introduced in bug in
> 54908 and there are already a way to print/export selection, just not by
> default.

Khaled, Telesto, I respect that opinion. And in fact, I would be just fine with
never choosing the selection by default. But - it's our opinions, while:

* We know others have the opposite view; and
* There are three dupes for this bug (albeit some about PDF Export behavior
which can be handled differently); and
* We used to have a confirmation dialog in the OpenOffice days; and
* We did go through a process recently about this. 


OTOH, and considering the "muddied waters" about PDF export vs Printing and
Calc vs Writer or other modules - I guess the reversion and reopening is
probably the right call. Let's see what "the people" have to say...

The commit here was reverted to fix bug 139164 and its duplicates.

Reopening this in case any further action is needed for the original issue
here, though I think the current behavior is sane an allows printing selection
only for people who need it without negatively affecting everyone else.

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today,
LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed
bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this
bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the
details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in
getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of
LibreOffice 
(5.4.1 or 5.3.6  https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of
LibreOffice and 
your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to
RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave 
a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular
meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a
REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your
bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo";
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat:
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team

 The last system I KNOW it working properly was OpenOffice 3.2.1.  It is
 broken in OpenOffice 3.4.1 (never tested 3.3) and LibreOffice 4.0  4.1.  I
 never tested in anything earlier in LibreOffice.

I'm not sure if you can really lump bug 61629 in with this bug, as this bug
doesn't address Print Directly at all unless it ALSO defines the change in
behavior specifically for Print Directly.  

I see the following options for Print Directly:

1. When multiple cells are selected, immediately print the selection without
asking any questions.  If only one cell is selected, immediately print the
entire document.  Print Directly shouldn't bother you with dialogs.  It
should just dump the selection or sheet to the printer.

2. When multiple cells are selected, ignore them and immediately print the
entire sheet.  This is the current crippled behavior.  Print Directly is
unable to print a selection as it could before LibreOffice.

3. When multiple cells are selected, Print Directly opens the standard Print
dialog with Print selected cells selected.  This is a reasonable compromise,
as it still presents the same number of clicks as OpenOffice did.  Print
Directly would still immediately print the entire sheet when only one cell is
selected. 

4. Re-implement the simple dialog removed from Print Directly to give users
the simple choice to print sheet, selected cells, or cancel.

I would guess that LO inadvertently removed functionality from Print Directly
when they attempted to tidy-up the interface.  I loaded version 3.3.0 in a
virtual machine and it appears that this change was made some time after
OpenOffice 3.2.1 and before LibreOffice 3.3.0.  

My main complaint with having the Print Directly related bugs part of this
bug is that this one is really just an enhancement request for a different
behavior in the standard Print dialog.

I'm also not sure that this proposed behavior change for the standard print
dialog is ideal.  This seems like quite a substantial UI change.  You're saying
that if any user leaves 2 or more cells selected, the standard Print dialog
should default to print selected cells?  I'm not saying this change is
unreasonable, but how many users will accidentally leave cells selected and
still expect to print the entire spreadsheet?  At least they will have a
preview window and the option to change it.


To hopefully make things more clear, here are the various situations:

1. OpenOffice previous behavior (functional)
* Print Directly, with one cell selected:
Prints entire sheet without asking any questions.

* Print Directly, with multiple cells selected:
Pops up a dialog to print selection, print sheet, or cancel.

* File-Print when you have multiple cells selected:
Opens print dialog with print selected sheets as the default.


2. LibreOffice current behavior (broken Print Directly)
* Print Directly, with one cell selected:
Prints entire sheet without asking any questions.

* Print Directly, when you have multiple cells selected:
Prints entire sheet without asking any questions about selection.

* File-Print when you have multiple cells selected:
Opens print dialog with print selected sheets as the default.


3. Proposed behavior in this bug report
* Print Directly, with one cell selected:
Prints entire sheet without asking any questions.

* Print Directly, when you have multiple cells selected:
Not addressed so far in this report, and will continue to print entire sheet
without asking any questions about selection.

* File-Print when you have multiple cells selected:
The change suggested in this report.  Opens print dialog with print selected
cells as the default.

 I'm not sure if you can really lump bug 61629 in with this bug, as this bug
 doesn't address Print Directly at all unless it ALSO defines the change in
 behavior specifically for Print Directly.  

True... of course I said that earlier, too :)

Really, I think bug 61629 should be reopened, and marked as a regression, since
a perfectly useful feature that addressed the issue suddenly disappeared in the
first versions of LO (although it was a long time ago) as it came from AOO
(Apache Open Office).

I agree that Paolo's proposal may be a different kind of behavior BUT it also
makes perfect sense... and I will tell you why.  In AOO WRITER (tested in 3.4),
if you select nothing and then file- print, it selects the whole document to
print.  In AOO WRITER, if you select a range and then file- print, it
automatically checks the Selection option and only prints that.  In my mind,
Calc should behave the same way as AOO Writer.  Plus, it makes logical sense. 

But here is the kicker in LO Writer, they removed that functionality that
OAA had!  In LO Writer, if you block something and then go to the print dialog,
it DOES NOT choose the Selection option.  Why?  Was that intentional?  I hate
to muddy the water with yet another issue, but there you have it.

 My main complaint with having the Print Directly related bugs part of this 
 bug is that this one is really just an enhancement request for a different
 behavior in the standard Print dialog.

That all depends on what you are comparing it to.  If you compare the standard
print dialog behavior to past AOO behavior, it is a regression.  If you compare
the standard print dialog to past LO behavior, it is an enhancement request. 
But the current print directly issue in LO is 100% a regression in LO.

Neither problem is fixed in LO 4.1

If you have a range selected and use direct print, there is still no dialog
asking “Do you want to print the selection or the entire document?” it just
immediately prints the entire sheet.

And if you have a range selected and use file-print the selected cells
option is still not checked, so it, too, prints the entire sheet.

Both are regressions.  This should be marked as confirmed

@crxssi - NEW is confirmed :) So indeed it's confirmed

In terms of a regression - when did it work as expected? Back in AOO days or at
some point with LibreOffice? I'll do a bibisect if it worked in LibreOffice 3.5
or later

Damn, I keep forgetting that :)  Sorry about that, on some other bugzillas
NEW is not confirmed.

 at some point with LibreOffice? I'll do a bibisect if it worked in
 LibreOffice 3.5 or later

The last system I KNOW it working properly was OpenOffice 3.2.1.  It is broken
in OpenOffice 3.4.1 (never tested 3.3) and LibreOffice 4.0  4.1.  I never
tested in anything earlier in LibreOffice.

I always hate to call these our regressions as really it seems like a
regression in AOO and we just ended up with the broken code  hm - well no
bibisect will be useful if it came from AOO code base unfortunately

Not really familiar with bibisect (even after doing a Google search) :)

I mean, this is still a valid bug report, even if it originally came from AOO,
right?  Should I or others be reporting it differently?

I see what you mean with the word regression, I am probably using/overusing
that word and in a way not typical by developers.  To me (and most) it is
really the same as a just a bug, usually a break or poorer behavior in
something that used to be stable/functional, where a bug could be in a new
feature.

Thanks!

oh no it was perfectly well reported - I was just talking about internal policy
about if this is our regression or not - something we'll talk about during next
QA call I suspect :) the bug report is fine

It is a problem that the selection radio button is not selected when a range
is selected before file- print.

But it is even worse with direct printing.  If you select a range before using
the direct print button on the toolbar, it will immediately print the entire
sheet.  In OpenOffice it will open a dialog and ask the user Do you want to
print the selection or the entire document?.  

You can see my notes in bug 61629 (marked as a duplicate).

So it is actually partially a duplicate and partially a second bug :)
