Description Colin 2018-04-21 07:00:32 UTC
Description:
I'm convinced scroll zooming originally acted independently for each sheet in a multi-sheet file. This enabled the ability to focus on the most active area of each sheet. It's also far more cost-effective than buying new spectacles;).

Currently both the scroll zoom and zoom factor control at the extreme lower right of the sheet impact all sheets.

I've only recently moved onto release 6 and believe it manifested when I "migrated".

I personally prefer the ability to control the zoom factor individually and I have searched CALC bugs for "zoom" and can't find anything relevant so it's not immediately apparent whether the change resulted from a request.

If the change just "slipped in" then hopefully it can be remedied, if it was planned I guess it's a "reverse enhancement" and I just have to learn to live with it. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create multi-sheet file
2.Zoom any sheet
3.Observe the impact on all other sheets

Actual Results:  
All sheets zoom

Expected Results:
only the focus sheet to zoom, thereby permitting alternate zoom factors for the varying formats on the remaining sheets


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

It also works that way in OOo 3.3.0 OOO330m20 (Build:9567), and OOo 2.2.0 - so I doubt that it was last update that made it this way :)

A valid enhancement request though.

I seem to recall it featuring in version 4 or 5 and thinking it was a nice enhancement.

I know it works that way in Excel (just tried it) but I've only just installed that (April 13th) because I was having problems with exporting something for another user and needed to check compatibility.

I guess my memory is failing as badly as my eyesight.

Can this report be "pushed through" to an enhancement request or is there a separate channel for that?

I'm wrong or there is an option in:
Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice Calc/View - Zoom - Synchronize sheets.
that seems work fine.

You sir are a star. Thank you.

I guess installing later versions over the top probably retains individual document characteristics but doesn't retain all global settings.

I've actually noticed this before with things like custom sort order but simply embedded the sort order in the pertinent document and pasted it back into the sort customisation function if it went on the "missing" list following an upgrade.

Are those sort of settings stored in the user profile, which is often recommended for reset as a first path to debugging other issues - and are they potentially overwritten with upgrades?

Would the reporting of such anomalies be considered bug reports or an enhancement request;-
            Don't trash user-defined parameters on upgrade, unless it's destructive of the new version and then advise accordingly.

Don't care, report as bug should be fine.

Thanks from the future!

IMHO, Feature Improvement would be to set this option to false by default.
