Comment(by borysiasty):

 I believe you talk about two different issues. One is a real bug, that the
 printout orientation doesn't affect printer driver (I can confirm it, see
 the second screenshot).

 The second issue is the difference between LO Writer and serious DTP
 applications. When you change paper orientation in Writer, it adjust the
 page layout, what would be considered as layout devastation in
 applications like Scribus, Inkscape or, say, InDesign. For me personally,
 the Writer's way is not suitable also in qgis. It would not only move, but
 also resize frames in a way hard to control. What with snapping, what with
 the padlocks, what with font size inside resized frames?

 Anyway, I guess Marisn means the first issue.
