Release: 21.10
$ apt-cache policy simple-scan
simple-scan:

I have attached a debug log generated from the scans, and I will also be attaching the relevant screenshots, one at a time n the next 6 comments.
What I expected to happen is simply this:
When I set the Preference for page-size to Automatic, I expect the pages to scan as platen-sized for platen scans and legal sized for feeder scans. When I set the Preference for page-size to Letter, I expect to get all letter sized scans with no excess junk in the image.
Here is what happens:
Start simple-scan.
Set Prefereneces to page size: Automatic (attachment #1)
Scan an image on the platen, then scan a text, also on the platen (attachment #2)
- Note that both images are the correct size - letter+minimal extra (A4?)
Scan a text via the feeder, then scan an image through the feeder (attachment #3)
- Note that the scans are both the same size - letter+
Set Preferences to page size Letter (attachment #4)
Scan an image page on the platen, then scan an image on the platen (attachment #5)
- Note that the image scan is correctly coming out as a letter-sized page, but the text has a black box filling in a legal size page under the actual letter size paper.
Scan a text page through the feeder, then an image page through the feeder (attachment #6)
- Note these are both the correct letter size.
The command line I used to get this log was: $ simple-scan -d &> scan.log
Log attached here.
Please fix this.
I will note that one of the issues I wrote bug 1916550 has been solved, but offhand I don't remember which.
Here is the image attachment #1 add-on.
