Description
I have been using Atlas after Anita Graser told me about it, unfortunately I have found several bugs
1. Scale is not honored, I type a fix scale and it keeps resetting the scale
2. It works randomly, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't
3. It doesn't work really good with openlayers base layers, it gives some nan extent things
4. After messing with options a lot sometimes it deletes the map composer view
5. I check the generate Atlas options, yet I have to check the map composer item controlled by Atlas option manually which seems not good UI/UX design
I have made two videos to try to show what's happening

Thanks for your input and the screencast. There is certainly a lot going on and I'll try to reproduce the issues to try get to the core of the problems.
In general, I think it is preferable to create one ticket per issue and try to provide instructions to reproduce the issue - if possible of course. But in this case, since you have one video summarizing most of the issues, this collection ticket makes sense to me.
A related issue might be: preview and atlas scales are not synchronized #9602

I don't think that the OL layers is a QGIS/Atlas issue, if I'm not wrong the OL plugin does not supports printing.

For now, I can't test the OpenLayers-related issues since adding OpenLayers layers crashes master #9649

@Giovanni: I'm unsure if OL should support printing or not, see #6653 which argues that it should work.

ad point 1: "Fixed scale" seems to work fine with metric CRS (e.g. EPSG:3035) but scale changes when WGS84 is used as a project CRS.

Can this please be split into multiple issues before too much discussion occurs? It's going to get very messy otherwise!

@Nyall: Can any of the 5 issues be discarded or should I open a ticket for each?

Perhaps number 3 (open layers related), but may as well make it too and I'll see what's happening there.

Ok, I created 4 tickets. Didn't quite know what to do with the 2nd one ...
I guess I'll close this one now.

Thanks Anita! I think number 2 might just be a bit more info for number 1, at least that's how I interpreted it.
