This is on Manjaro Linux x64 with XFCE 4.13 In a dual monitor set-up Libreoffice correctly opens on the display (screen) where the mouse pointer is, as expected. However most 'child windows' such as 'Options', 'Edit > Find and Replace', 'Edit Style', 'Format > Paragraph', 'Format > Character', open always on the external display (see below for details). On the other hand e.g. 'Format > Columns' always opens on the primary display. Finally some child windows such as 'Tools > Spelling', 'Table > Insert Table', 'Edit > Go to page', seem to 'follow' the main window (i.e. open on the same display where the main window is located). If this helps the xranr command used to set-up the displays is the following: xrandr --output HDMI2 --off --output HDMI1 --off --output DP1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --output eDP1 --primary --mode 1366x768 --pos 1920x0 --rotate normal --output VIRTUAL1 --off The display where Libreoffice is in this case is 'eDP1' (a laptop monitor) and
I cannot test this, but looking at Bug 113049 which has a different issue it seems this may not be about LO.
Or, if this is LO fault, it's related to Bug 101641.
I do guess that this is indeed related to #101641 albeit in this case e.g. highlighter menu is displayed correctly. As an additional info, in my case running with: SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen libreoffice shows windows on the correct monitor (i.e. where libreoffice is), but at the same time in this case libreoffice is always started on the primary monitor by default. I am assuming the default gui rendering on here (XFCE) is GTK. Do note, however, that if I run both gtk2-demo and gtk3-demo all the child windows open as expected on the same display as the main window. Specifically to Linux and Gtk maybe this (and related links) could be useful? https://github.com/mono/xwt/issues/598
I don't have Linux for multimonitor but I'll confirm. This may be a duplicate of Bug 101641 which is for Windows, or not. Let's keep it separated so far.
Any chance this could be tested with older versions of LibreOffice ?
The issue is still there in LO 6.4.5.2, but in LibreOffice 7.0.0.0 beta2 I cannot duplicate it and it looks fixed in that. Using LO 7 on my second screen and click the print button opens the window on the same screen. CAN DUPLICATE IN: Versie: 6.4.5.2 (x64) Build ID: a726b36747cf2001e06b58ad5db1aa3a9a1872d6 CPU-threads: 4; Besturingssysteem: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI-render: standaard; VCL: win; Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); UI-taal: nl-NL Calc: threaded WORKS FOR ME IN: Version: 7.0.0.0.beta2 (x64) Build ID: 1c213561a365b5666167321de68c9977500c9612 CPU-threads: 4; Besturingssysteem: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI-render: Skia/Rooster; VCL: win Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); GI: nl-NL Calc: threaded
To add to my comment #6: I can reproduce this with 7.0.0 beta 2 also, so it is not fixed. But what I found the (print) dialog seems stuck to the screen LO was last opened on, so particularity with the Print screen I can just duplicate this with both LO 6.x and 7.x: * Have LO started on first screen and open the File> Print dialog which is to open on the first screen; this is an example but it could as well the second screen for you, that case drag the Print screen to your first screen where you have LO running onto. * Close LO * Start Lo on the second screen attached and open the File> Print dialog again which now opens wrongly on the first screen (there where you last time ran LO on). Close the Print dialog and reopen it using File> Print and it again opens (wrongly) on the first screen. * Now drag the print dialog to the second screen there where LO is running. Close the print dialog and reopen it using File> Print and it opens correctly on the second screen. Close and reopen the Print dialog makes it start every to on the correct screen. * Then close LO and start it again on the first screen. You'll find when opening the File> Print dialog now opens as expected wrongly on the second screen again. So as long as you run LO every time on the same screen your print dialog will always open correctly on that screen. Case you regularly move LO between your screens you'll find the print dialog will open up on the wrong screen after that.
