Description David Chmelik 2023-04-24 00:17:08 UTC
KATE has several printing formatting problems, including a general KDE one I reported elsewhere.  We use imperial/USA measurements--inches--but KATE describes page/margins in millimetres.  We print previewed a 12-page document it said was 11 pages.  It only printed the top half of lines at page bottoms.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Print preview a multiple-page document
2. Check formatting of margins (maybe need to add alternative language/dialect despite not using its measurements) and number of pages
3. Print and check every line at bottom of page

OBSERVED RESULT
KATE misformats documents, including using other measurements than set in locale, and doesn't round up number of pages if even goes over one character, and only prints top half of lines at bottom of pages.

EXPECTED RESULT
Use locale.  Round up number of pages.  Check if last line will fit, including bottom half, and if not, start it on next page.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
UNIX/GNU/Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon 5.27 22.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.105.0
Qt Version: 5.15.9

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I can test on FreeBSD UNIX, Slackware GNU/Linux, connected to same printer (on KDE Neon host) over network.
