Description:
Hi everyone,
It seems that this kind of bug has been reported before but not exactly the way I experience it.
When I insert an OLE text (previously created with LO Writer) in LO Draw or LO Impress, I usually double-click on it and resize the inserted window to fit the exact view I want to have on my Draw or Impress document.
This operation works on the first page of the OLE text but become unpredictable from the second page. In this case (let's say for example that I want to display the third page of the original Writer file), when I click back to Draw or Impress, the selected view is not correctly transferred. Instead of it, I get another part of the original document (and I honestly can't predict wich one even if I see that there is probably some correspondance).
This phenomenon doesn't appear with a Calc OLE where I get easily the exact view I'm looking for (cell by cell).

Thanks for your help.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a Writer document with several pages.
2.Open LO Draw/Impress.
3.Insert the Writer document (click & drag or OLE insertion) in the Draw/Impress document.
4.Double click on the OLE Writer object and get a view of one of the Writer document pages (except the first one) by resizing the window and/or scroll down the pages.
5.Click back to the previous context (Draw or Impress).

Actual Results:
The view obtained is different than the view on the OLE Writer object in its own context. The difference is hard to predict.

Expected Results:
Get the exact same view from the OLE Writer object and how it appears in the Draw/Impress document.


Reproducible: Always

This sounds very similar: bug 88808. Do you agree it is the same?
