Description J22Gim 2017-11-16 12:53:57 UTC
Description:
I want to edit two parts of the same document (eg the beginning and the end of a 20-pages text). So in "normal view" I can go to Window->New Window and open a new window where I can see the 2nd view of my document. Great.

But I want to do exactly the same while using "web view" and not "normal view". "Web view" is MUCH more convenient for me for many reasons. But when I'm in "web view" I can not open a new window. And if I open a new window while in "normal view" and then I switch to "web view", the 2nd window is closed automatically :(

Version: 5.4.3.2
Build ID: 1:5.4.3~rc2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1~lo1
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; 
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group


Steps to Reproduce:
1. open Writer (works with any new, empty file or loaded file)
2. go to View->Normal
3. go to Window->New window
4. now you can edit the same document at two places simultaneously
5. try to do the same with "web" instead of "normal" view: it doesn't work
6. Follow 1-4 but now go (in any of the two windows) to View->Web and one of the windows closes automatically.

Actual Results:  
can't have two windows of the same document while using "web" view.

Expected Results:
I would love to have two windows of the same document (ie to be able to edit a document in two separate, simultaneous windows for example to change the text at the beginning and the references at the end) but while working under "web" view.


Reproducible: Always

Any news about this? It is an actual bug, right?
Comment 5 sdc.blanco 2019-11-06 13:52:16 UTC
Reproduced with:  Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha1 (x64)
Build ID: cc57df8f942f239d29cb575ea5a7cb01405db787
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18362; UI render: GL; VCL: win; 

If View->Web is selected, then Window-->New Window is greyed out.

If this is intended (i.e. not a bug), then maybe it should be mentioned in the help file?  See here:
