Description Aleksandar Pavić 2020-01-06 08:08:38 UTC
Description:
Open any document in LibreOffice Writer, and set page view to Book view for example.

Then go to Window -> New Window

Change on new window to Single page (original window will be affected as well).

One window shouldn't be affected by changes on another window, only content of document should be affected. 

For example if you use other commands like View Formatting marks, they are not affected in another window.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open document in LibreOffice Writer
2. Set page view to BookView (for example)
3. Go to Window -> New Window
4. On newly opened window set page view to Single page

Actual Results:
It updated page view in original window as well.

Expected Results:
It should update page view only in newly opened window.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Comment 1 V Stuart Foote 2020-01-06 16:12:55 UTC
As with Zoom (bug 43253), and Table cursors (bug 89897) this is an inherited behavior of the ViewShell for "New Window" split windows. But it is annoying.

Associated issues:
- if one view is zoomed out enough to view two pages side-by-side, but the other isn't, then it still shows as single-page view
- in the situation described above, typing in the zoomed-out view makes the view flicker between side-by-side and single-page view
- status bar still shows seemingly different modes, until it refreshes when switching windows
