------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 14 12:28:47 +0000 2007 ------- I am absolutely blown away that this is now marked as "WONTFIX"! It is most certainly a BROKEN behavior. Let's analyze: 1) 90%+ of printers in use today are simplex, not duplex. So it breaks the behavior on 90% of the printers. This is an exaggeration. I would be glad to provide a poll of my 100+ user Linux user's group, if you like. If you really felt it was necessary to insert blank pages for duplex printers, then check the current printer properties to see if duplex is on by default before ruining the document. 2) Even on duplex printers, it is not necessary to send blank pages, unless you are actually using it in duplex mode at the time. All duplex printers I have ever used (and I have used many) do not enter duplex mode unless specifically requested by the application, or if left permanently "on" in the printing subsystem (which is also exceedingly rare). 3) People don't necessarily want to use the complicated wizzard for a merge. In many cases, wizards can be more complex than just doing what you want without going through lots of additional questions. 4) Saving a merged file is not the same function as printing directly. So even if most printers were duplex (which they most certainly are not), saving the file should NOT have the behavior. 5) I can almost guarantee that the vast majority of users are going to be confused and irritated by the current behavior of inserting unnecessary blank pages. 6) Yes the page number indicator is wrong, it should not always show you as being on page one. If I start a brand new document and insert several hard pages, it works correctly- it doesn't say I am on page "1" for every page I move to. Of course, this could be some other type of bug and unrelated to this issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
