Double-page print layout skips lines on all pages after first

[cathalgarvey]

Hello,
I'm running 1.25 (git >= c250195), and just printed a few hundred pages of double-page layout text for my wife to review a novel she's writing. Only, the final document was missing 6 lines from each page after the first; everything is aligned correctly under the page numbering/filename header, but the line numbers begin six numbers after the preceding page.

Needless to say I'm troubled to have lost so much ink and paper. :(
I'm running Debian Wheezy, and built Geany last month or so from git. The underlying print service is GTK but I think the page setup code is geany; is this the right place?

Indeed, I can confirm we loses some lines in this case.

Have I understood the problem right?

• printing 2 document pages per paper sheet
• line numbers are missing/content is missing

Just printed out some file (only 10 pages on 5 sheets of paper). Looked good to me, everything is there. Or do I have to print out more to reproduce?

@LarsGit223 maybe try the situations listed in the scintilla bug @b4n created, its not marked fixed. (and I do hope you are using print to PDF and not killing polar bears by using paper).

[lpaulsen93]

@elextr: thanks, can re-produce it still. Must have been something wrong yesterday.

[lpaulsen93]

I know this issue is still open in scintilla but I cannot re-produce it with SciTE 3.7.5 (the same version Geany is using). Can anyone test and confirm this please before I disturb the scintilla team?

( I CAN re-produce it with Geany)

[elextr]

Did you set the magnifications and stuff @b4n noted in the Scintilla bug?

[lpaulsen93]

Ok, it's still there. If I set some magnification then the problem also occurs in SciTe. I had a look at the code but it looks like it's not that simple and C++ is not my language so I can't help with this issue.

[elextr]

Never mind, as you can tell from the age of the scintilla bug printing code is not a priority for most people.

I am seeing this issue as well - I have printed 4 pages per sheet. Using Geany 1.32.

In particular, note jump between page 1-2 and 2-3.

@TheCrowned as noted above, this is a bug in the Scintilla editing widget Geany uses, not in Geany's own code. The Scintilla bug reference is given above. Scintilla is open source code and I am sure would be happy to receive a fix for the bug.
