    Okular stuck on wrong page size

    About two weeks ago, I used Okular to print a photo at 3.5"x5" and ever since then Okular chooses this size as the default.

    I cannot get it to change the default. I have printed dozens of documents since then at letter size and every time I have to reset the paper size.

    I have checked cups setting for the printer: default is letter
    I have checked paperconfig and papersize: letter
    LibreOffice prints in letter.
    Printer is set to letter

    Ideas?

    Purged okular, renamed my okular user history and configs. No change.

    Launched a different user. No change.

      Update thread title: The above appears to happen with other KDE apps also, like KolourPaint. Non KDE apps appear to function normally.​

        Maybe a config file got changed and remains persistant even when reinstalling the app.
        Just to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.

            That entry option under "Advanced" (from 2015) no longer exists. Probably why it stuck where it is now.

                This is still an annoying problem.

                  Have you given any consideration to building Okular from source code?

                    Part of the problem is it's not just Okular. Is's basically ANY KDE program. Non-KDE things like Open Office are fine. There doesn't seem to be ANYWHERE that I can find with the wrong paper setting, but it persists.
