Description R. Green 2020-09-02 15:06:14 UTC 
Created attachment 165034 [details]
Writer file demonstrating an outline tracking issue

Version: 7.0.0.3 (x64)
Build ID: 8061b3e9204bef6b321a21033174034a5e2ea88e
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI: en-GB
Calc: threaded

1. Open the attached Writer file. Click on "Chapter 2" in the Navigator, then click on the main body of text.

EXPECTED/ACTUAL RESULT: The "Chapter 2" heading opens in the Navigator (because outline tracking is at "default").

3. Collapse the entry, right-click on the plus sign and select "Outline tracking > OFF".
4. Save the document, then close and reopen it.
5. Click on "Chapter 2" in the Navigator, then click on the main body of text.

EXPECTED RESULT: The Navigator heading should stay closed.
ACTUAL RESULT: The heading opens. And if you right-click over the plus sign and select "Outline tracking" you can observe that it has reset to default.
Comment 1 R. Green 2020-09-02 15:20:18 UTC 
This particularly galling because according to Bug 135605, comment 4, this feature should work. The issue came up after the enhancement in Bug 108766.
Comment 2 R. Green 2020-09-02 15:26:35 UTC 
Sorry there was a small error in the OP instructions: 'Click on "Chapter 2"' should read 'DOUBLE CLICK on "Chapter 2"'

Hi R.
I didn't see your bug report until now. Patches for tracking settings persistence was done for enhancement request made in Bug 145132. Here are links to the two patches that add this:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/122874
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/123960
Comment 6 BogdanB 2023-05-14 18:21:48 UTC 
R.Green, please retest with 7.6. For me it is working well. The setting is remembered.
Comment 7 R. Green 2023-05-15 09:40:32 UTC 
Version: 7.5.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
