Description Eyal Rozenberg 2020-03-30 17:39:18 UTC
Created attachment 159162 [details]
A misleading icon and a valid icon

I often have several LO writer documents open at the same time; and I expect all of them to have a taskbar icon which is dark-bluish text on a white-with-blueish-tint page, and a dark-blue upper-right triangle.

Yet - typically, one of my documents has no blue text, no blueish tint, and no blue triangle - just a blank page (I mean, for the taskbar icon) - even though it's a bona fide LO writer document. 

I believe it is the first opened document, and additional ones get the right icon, but I can't give exact reproduction instructions at the moment.

I'm using the Cinnamon Desktop Environment on Devuan GNU/Linux 3.0 (~= Debian 10 Buster).

The attachment has a bit of my taskbar, with two app "segments" in the middle for two LO writer documents - the left one with the confusing/ambiguous icon and the right one with the acceptable icon.

I'm 90% certain this is not the distribution nor the desktop environment's fault.

Not clear why/if subsequent ODF documents would be assigned the default LibreOffice MIME type--do you have a mix of ODF and OOXML open? The OOXML getting the generic?

Actually, yes!

... but if I open an additional .docx (OOXML), or a .doc, I don't get this generic icon.

Eyal, I've just recognized the followin:

If I open a document in LO 6.3.5.2 the "confusing icon" always appears for a short moment and changes to a normal icon.

If I open a document in LO 7.0.0.0alpah1 the correct icon appears directly.

So perhaps there has been a change meanwhile.

So could you please try to reproduce it with a master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the master build

Well, behavior has now changed somewhat, so closing this in favor of a new separate bug.
