Description Daniel T. 2019-05-17 09:00:32 UTC
When zooming in/out or showing/hiding the Navigator (F5 click) in muliple-page view mode – as well as, probably, in other cases too – and when, as a result, the working area is (or is no longer) wide enough to accommodate two pages, the page displayed before is no longer shown. Often one sees last page of the document. With long files this becomes very cumbersome and annoying, since one needs to again find the location one was looking at or working with.  

To reproduce:

1. Switch to multiple-page view.
2. Zoom out so that the width of the working area would just fit two pages.
3. Open Navigator pane (F5) -> one page is shown [expected, since 2 pages would no longer fit].
4. Move cursor to the middle of a relatively long doc.
5. Close Navigator pane.

Result:

1. Two pages are visible again [expected]
2. But the last page of the document is shown.

Expected behaviour:

The current page, where the cursor is show be shown.

I can reproduce the bug also in the fresh version (6.2.4.2).

There are also other ways to lose focus in addition to the one scenario I describe above. For example, you could close the Navigator so that two pages can fit and the focus of current cursor location is lost (last page is shown, I assume because my cursor has been somewhere in the second half of the document).

Can't confirm it with

I tested on Linux (Kubuntu 18.04).
Comment 6 Buovjaga 2019-08-25 14:37:18 UTC
Not reproduced. Maybe the new KDE Frameworks 5 UI of LibreOffice fixed it. Trying with 6.3.x is recommended (but Kubuntu 18 won't ship it)

I can still reproduce the bug in the current version (Version: 6.3.5.2).

I also can confirm with

Version: 6.3.5.2 (x64)

and also with

Additional informations:
I have opened navigator in sidebar, because floating navigator (F5) is only in front of the two pages (at least in my case)
It's important to follow the steps. If you move cursor to somewhre in the middle of the document, before opeing navigator, it works as expected
I'v tried with a document of 30 pages
