See Bug #690355 for a sample file and more details.

Comment 1 Ralph Giles 2009-03-26 11:54:42 UTC

Why do we even want the x11 device to honour #copies? I'd think in a viewing
context once would be enough.

Comment 2 Marcos H. Woehrmann 2009-03-26 11:58:09 UTC

It's the behaviour the user who reported Bug #690355 expects, though I agree with your comment.

Comment 3 Ralph Giles 2009-03-26 16:05:32 UTC

I read that as a data point rather than a change request. I think Till was
trying to pin down where the number of copies function was implemented.

I don't believe it's appropriate to interpret /#copies or NumCopies literally in
a display device like the x11 devices.
