Description: Currently, there's no way to set the default view to "Web". Even if I open a document, change the view to "Web", do some editing and then save, when I open the document again, it will always be opened in the "Normal" view and I have to change it back to "Web" every time I open every document. Actual Results: Expected Results: Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info:

I can't confirm that. Document, that is saved in web-mode also opens in web-mode (tested with 6.3.0.0 and 6.1.5.2 To be certain the reported issue is not related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your Libreoffice profile (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile) and re-test? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present
Could you please copy and paste the infos about your version (Help => About LibreOffice)?
Version: 6.2.0.3 (x64) Other people have experienced the same problem. It's not just me. Also, I save documents as .docx, if that matters.

(In reply to ddmids from comment #3) > Also, I save documents as .docx, if that matters. I can confirm with a docx-file the view changes back to normal => I changed bug summary and I hope you agree Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a new docment in writer 2. Change view to web 3. Save as docx 4. Open docx-file Result: View modus is Normal (it doesn't happen with an odt-file) Found in Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 91cdf22b88a4f7bec243c8fb187627e766d3294c CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42, Branch:master, Time: 2019-03-08_00:38:10 Locale: en-US (de_DE); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded and Version: 6.2.2.2 (x64) Build-ID: 2b840030fec2aae0fd2658d8d4f9548af4e3518d CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 10.0; UI-Render: Standard; VCL: win; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Sprache: de-DE Calc: threaded but not in Version: 5.4.7.2 (x64) Build-ID: c838ef25c16710f8838b1faec480ebba495259d0 CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 6.19; UI-Render: GL; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: CL
The following commit changed the behavior to disregard web view setting. I'd say, NOTABUG, see rationale below. https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=ffb4d7b16b386ba13f27722cd78406d5b5c5baca author Jan Holesovsky <kendy@collabora.com> 2017-09-18 13:17:39 +0200 committer Jan Holesovsky <kendy@collabora.com> 2017-09-19 10:26:13 +0200 "Word 2013 and 2016 does not honor the <w:view> setting, let's ignore it too. In other words, let's open documents in the non-web view even when saved with <w:view w:val="web"/>. The behavior I see in Word 2013 (and it's documented that his happens in 2016 too) is that the setting is not a document setting any more, but user's setting. Ie. regardless of what is written in the file, the .docx document opens in the Print Layout if the Word was in the Print Layout until now, and in the Web Layout if it was that mode. We handle the non-web layout much better than the web layout, so let's just default to the normal layout on load."
I don't know what you're trying to demonstrate. In my case, 99% of my documents are viewed in Web view but now I have to 1) open a document; 2) change the view to Web for those 99% of my documents. The thing is either: 1) when a document is saved in Web view, next time when it's opened, it should be opened in Web view. And the same goes for Normal mode, etc. (This can already be done in MS Office and FreeOffice) 2) Let the user define the "default view" in Settings so every document is opened in the default view no matter in what view the document was saved.
(In reply to ddmids from comment #7) > I don't know what you're trying to demonstrate. As far as I understand comment 6 the problem is Word 2013 and 2016 don't use the <w:view> setting (but I'm not a developer; I can't read the code). So I could understand, that Word doesn't open file in Web-View, but I would expect, that Writer does (but again, I'm not a developer). Jan, what do you think about it? Do you agree, that this is NOTABUG as Aron says in comment 6? cc: Jan Holesovsky Still reproducible with Version: 7.1.1.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: fe0b08f4af1bacafe4c7ecc87ce55bb426164676 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL
Dear ddmids, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug
