Description bellgardt 2011-05-09 05:43:00 UTC
The header and footer settings for handouts are not saved but must be reapplied every time the file is reopened (menu view->headers/footers. 

Another bug is that this dialog does not works as expected. Often one has to apply it several time to get the expected result. E.g. the settings for handout view seem to be only applied if the handout view is also activated in impress. In my opinion that dialog should work in every view, otherwise there would be no need for two tabs in it. Also the dialog button "Apply to all" should apply to both tabs and not only the activated one.

not in my experience ( at least just tested this with libreoffice 3.4.beta4 ) - can you try that one too.

then you should file a different bug for that, it gets very confusing when many issues are mentioned in the same bug

surely the apply to all means apply to all slides ? ( at least that is what the help says )

Just tested LO3.4beta4 and the bug still exists. I'll attach a sample file where the problem can be reproduced on my system (Windows Vista):

In the document open the print dialog, select "handout". No header and footer is shown in the preview (and in a real print). Close the dialog.

Open "View->Header and Footer...", select the tab "Notes and Handouts" and apply to all (staying in the other tab doesn't work, another bug!?).

After this, the headers and footers are shown in the print preview (and print-out).

Save the file. Close and reopen. The headers and footers of handouts disappeared again.

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

PDF printed using 4.5 alpha from 19 Jan 2015

Here is my PDF printed output. Is this wrong?
I don't have any View->Header and Footer. Can you say, how to reproduce the correct result in 4.3+?

PDF showing the correct headers and footers

This attachment shows the "correct" (see also next attachment) printout of the handout including headers and footers, created with LO 4.3.5. To reproduce this go to View > Headers & Footers > Notes and handouts > Apply to all and then print the handout. 

After closing the document and reopening the settings again are lost.

PDF showing correct layout and headers/footers

This pdf shows the handout as it actually should look (2 rows, 2 columns), created from LO3.6. The incorrect layout in LO4 (2 rows, 3 colums) is another bug (80866).
Comment 12 Beluga 2015-01-21 09:08:42 UTC
Thanks. 4.5 has the View - Headers & Footers removed, so I got confused!
I got the same results as you in
