I just wanted to clarify this bug report, which I now see needs doing. I
noticed this after printing out 8 copies of a document for distribution,
hitting print on the toolbar to print one for myself, and getting 8 more.
Therefore, this bug is better put "the print toolbar button replicates the
previously used options." To my knowledge, this is not how other word
processors behave, and it is certainly not how I expected abiword to
behave.
Bob- if you think we should close this and open another clearer one, we
could do that. I will post these comments in the bug, and then you can
decide what to do.
