Description: I have two documents side by side in Web Layout and at a certain zoom factor. I am editing one and referencing the other. In order to prevent unwanted changes to one of them, I switch to Read Only mode by toggling Edit->Edit Mode option. The majority of the time, when the document switches to Read Only mode it also changes the view mode to Print Layout and the options in the Edit menu are disabled so I cannot switch back to Web Layout. With the document in Print Layout I then have to play with the zoom factor to get the text as large as possible and at the same time fit the window. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open saved document 2. Switch to Web Layout 3. Toggle Edit Menu->Edit Mode Document will most likely revert to Print Layout Actual Results: Switched to Print Layout without the ability to change to Web Layout Expected Results: Expect Writer to respect the View Layout in use or at least allow me to change it when in Read Only mode Reproducible: Sometimes User Profile Reset: No since it occurs on fresh install of LO Additional Info: Have seen the behaviour in both LO v5.0.5.2 on Win7x64 and on ArchLinux 32bit using LO v5.1.5.2 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0
In original comment, second paragraph, I stated that "the options in the Edit menu are disabled" I meant the Layout options under the View Menu are disabled.
Hello vic.orgos, Thank you for reporting the bug. Unfortunately i wasnt able to reproduce this with the steps you provided. If possible, create and attach a screencast showing the steps. There are various free screencast software available for use, including Camstudio (Windows), Simple Screen Recorder (Linux) or screencast-o-matic.com (Web).

Ok. I thought I was going crazy because I couldn't get to do it all of a sudden. Then it hit me. I had started working with .doc files and recently changed to .odt format. I opened a .doc file and was able to cause it to happen. So the problem has to do with the .doc format. I am attaching a screenshot of two documents side by side, set to Web View before disabling Edit Mode in each.

Yes i can confirm that this behaviour happens with .doc files, but not with .docx and .odt files.
