Proposal: Add Core->Layout: Printing

Right now, the category Core->Printing is used for two classes of bugs:

1) Layout issues when printing, ie that the printout looks like

2) Integration to with the OS printing system, including cross-platform
components such as the page setup dialog.

My impression is that these categories are almost entirely distinct from
each other, and it'd be helpful to separate them. I think the simplest
way would be to create a Layout subcategory for print layout bugs.

Yeah, I agree.
Layout->Printing
Layout->Print Preview
maybe?

I don't think we need separate components here.

Ok, Layout->Printing/Print Preview then.

Just to confirm: are you disagreeing with Ken's original proposal
entirely, or are you agreeing with it but suggesting that one layout
component and one OS-integration component is sufficient?

The latter.

So what happens to the current Core/Print Preview? Is that merged in
(or, equivalently, renamed)?

Are we saying that Core/Printing remains unchanged?

Yes, I think it'd be fine to leave Core/Printing as it is, but limit it
to OS integration issues--broadly speaking, anything except layout.
Layout issues would move to the Core/Layout/Printing category.

Sorry to be a nitpicker, but after seeing the updated category list,
"Layout:Printing/Print Preview" seems to be annoyingly long. Personally,
I think "Layout:Printing" is sufficient, but if it's important to
mention preview, how about "Layout:Print & Preview" or "Layout:Printing
& Preview"?

Fine by me, although I don't think "Layout:Printing/Print Preview" is very long.

I just hope that people who find bugs in print preview will find out
they need to file it under Layout:Printing.
