Summary0000869: oriantation setting wrong displayed
DescriptionThis affects New-->Document and Settings-->Preferences-->Document:

The Orientation:Landscape/Portrait button currently only switches width and high without detecting wheter it`s truely landscape or portrait. This means if it`s set to portrait and I insert a width value bigger than the hight value it still shows portrait (but it`s landscape) vis versa - scribus should detect the relationship between width and hight in the background and automatically change the orientation setting if nessesary after the values a filled in. Another possible solution (I wouldn`t prefere) was substitite the orientation: portrait/landscape by a "switch orientation" button (that doesn`t talk about portrait/landscape)

hm... I think it's quite clear having HEIGHT: and WIDTH: options. I'm not sure if it's a candidate for code updating.

I do think it'd be a nice bit of UI polish to auto-flip landscape/portrait based on the height:width ratio, though. Not a big deal, but pleasant polish - and that stuff matters in terms of overall usability IMHO.
