the navigator window does not remain where I place it in a master document after I switch to another writer document and then switch back to the master document. It pops back up to the top left corner and covers the menu bar there.

Steps to Reproduce:

2.open an existing master document---move navigator window to desired location
3.switch to another document
4.switch back to the master document


Actual Results:
5.the navigator jumps back to top left hand corner, obscuring part of the menu bar

Expected Results:
The navigator window should remain where I placed it.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
It always remained in place in previous versions of LibreOffice.

When I switch from the master document in LibreOffice Writer to another application such as Firefox or Thunderbird, and then switch back to the master document, the navigator window stays where I put it. It is only when I switch to another LibreOffice document and then return to the master document that the navigator window pops back up to the corner.

FTR: no repro using Version: 7.3.2.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 49f2b1bff42cfccbd8f788c8dc32c1c309559be0
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: default; VCL: win

Created a master document; moved Navigator to a center area of the editor; switched to a Writer document; switched back to master - the Navigator kept where I put it. Closed master document; created another master document - the Navigator appeared in the central area again.

Maybe specific to Linux.
