Description Andrew Mike 2019-02-25 15:50:01 UTC

Description of problem: The GTK-native print dialogs will not display when enabled in the LibreOffice advanced settings.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libreoffice-writer-6.0.6.1-13.el8

How reproducible: Consistently

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Tools > Options in the menus.
2. Select LibreOffice > Advanced in the left pane.
3. In the right pane, under "Optional Features", check the box marked "Enable experimental features".
4. 7. Click OK to close the Options window. Restart LibreOffice when prompted.
5. After LibreOffice restarts, go to Tools > Options in the menus.
6. Select LibreOffice > General in the left pane.
7. In the right pane, under "Print Dialogs", uncheck "Use LibreOffice dialogs". 8. Click OK to close the Options window.
9. Attempt to print the document on the screen by selecting File > Print from the menus, clicking the printer icon in the toolbar, or pressing the printer hotkey (Ctrl+P) by default.

Actual results:

Program continues as normal with no print dialog appearing.

Expected results:

GTK-native print dialog appears on the screen and enables printing workflow through the GTK-native interface.

Additional info:
- This appears to be an issue with RHEL as far back as RHEL 6.
- LibreOffice native print dialogs appear to be working properly.
- This may be blocking the ability for LibreOffice to print to Samba-authenticated printers, as it's currently unclear whether LibreOffice's native print dialog implements authentication checking for Samba-authenticated printers.

I feel this is a bug about a dialog whose use was attempted to workaround another problem with a missing authentication dialog
