Writer does not seem to be multi-document or multi-instance capable. I have 2 writer documents open, the "Styles and Formatting" is different. When ever I switch the focus betwween the 2 Writer instances, all the preview of both Writers "Styles and Formatting" is switching to the current focussed Writer.
Thank you for reporting the bug. Please attach a sample document, as this makes it easier for us to verify the bug. (Please note that the attachment will be public, remove any sensitive information before attaching it. See https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FAQ#How_can_I_eliminate_confidential_data_from_a_sample_document.3F for help on how to do so.) I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the requested document is provided.
Steps to reproduce: * Create a document and create some "default_style" in "Styles and formatting" * Save as file01.odt and Close * cp file01 file02.odt * Open file02 and change the "default_style" in "Styles and formatting". * Save and Close * Now open both files side by side on 2 screens or separated windows on order to have both documents visible at the same time * Open the "Styles and formatting" tool panel on both documents If you now focus the file01.odt and switch the focus to file02.odt, you can see the preview of both (!) "Styles and formatting" switching to the current focussed file. Expected result: Each window should only show the preview of it's file and not depend on the focus. After all it seems that there is some shared instance of Writer only managing one "Styles and formatting". This could be more intuitive if there is one shared main window with toolbars and previews, and separated document-only windows, something like Gimp does. Or alternatively having really separated instances showing only the document properties and previews.
