Layout Option Disappears When Printing a Google Doc

Good day all. I have a case open with Google but wanted to share: The layout option (where one can choose between portrait and landscape) seems to no longer be loading for users when printing a Google Doc. I made sure that the "pageless" feature is not on. I have clearly defined margins!  This does not seem to happen to sheets, forms or PDF/jpegs saved in Drive; only Docs. It happens from a windows device, mac and a chromebook for both my work and personal account, even in an incognito window. Something similar happened a few years back with version 96 and an update resolved it. Let's hope that happens again!

Interesting! I also have v118.0.5993.89 and not so much. I have to pull together some HAR info and send it off. Thanks for the feedback!

I'm running v118.0.5993.117 on Windows 11.  When the Print dialog opens, I see the page layout section briefly before it disappears.  When I inspected the dialog, I could see that the <div> containing the layout section has been marked as hidden.
