setting portrait paper layout behaves incorrectly

[Chudilo]

Binary package hint: gedit

When I set the paper orientation to landscape on a plan text document the text got rearranged inexplicably.
Instead of printing the same lines of text with more room per line, it centered the text on the page vertically leaving lot of space on the top and cutting the text where text that is arranged in portrait mode would normally be cut.

Thank you for your bug. Could you make a screenshot of the bug? The default mode is portrait, are you sure the bug is not happening when you landscape rather?

My appologies.
I didn't follow the proper procedures.
I just replied to the original e-mail.

I'm seeing this in gutsy as well (gedit).

I've had this happen with openoffice as well under feisty (haven't tried under gutsy yet).
