Bug ID: 510067
Summary: Plasma KDE apps no longer honoring any paper setting
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
For about 6 months now every time I use a KDE app to print (Gwenview, Kate,
etc.) the paper size is set at "Photo 3.5x5". "Letter" has been my default
setting forever. I have searched hours and hours through every file folder I
can think of the find where this might have gotten set or changed but to no
avail.
Recently I noticed something new - if I opened the print dialog, select
"Letter", then close it without printing, when I re-open the dialog the paper
size is blank rather than Photo 3.5x5. I also noticed that Photo 3.5x5 is the
first size in the list. I believe the paper size setting is simply not being
honored by KDE and Photo 3.5x5 is simply at the top of the list. This would
explain why I can't find it as a setting anywhere.
Note that in non-KDE apps like LibreOffice, the paper size is defaulted to the
system paper size setting which is "Letter".
Also note I have witnessed the exact same behavior in my KDEneon install
(current and updated) and in freshly made KDEneon and Kubuntu 25.04 VM
installs. All on KDE Plasma version 6.4.5
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open text file with Kate (or image file with Gwenview)
2. Select "Print"
3. In the printer dialog select "Properties"
OBSERVED RESULT
Paper size is set to "Photo 3.5x5"
EXPECTED RESULT
Paper size should be set to system or locale default. In my case "Letter"
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDEneon User Edition/Kubuntu 25.04
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5/6.4.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0/6.14.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2/6.8.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I believe "Photo 3.5x5" appears because it is first in the list of available
paper sizes in the dialog, The system default size is simply not used by KDE
Plasma.
