Description Mike Reardon 2021-08-28 20:39:52 UTC
Description:
Unlike other OS, LibreOffice shrinks when you move LibreOffice from a laptop screen to a connected larger monitor.  It shrinks it down to the top X, which makes it hard to find if several other applications are open.  

Actual Results:
I click on the top bar, where the file name and application name are displayed.  I drag with my mouse to the other screen.  As I get to the other screen, it shrinks down to the top right X (or close application button).  You need to click and expand it until you see the rectangle (or maximize the application button).  It doesn't happened every time but when it does, its annoying.

Expected Results:
Expect minimize application to move to the other screen without resizing - until it gets to its final destination


Reproducible: Always

This happens to me when using dual monitors. It also happens when dragging on a single monitor. Added screenshot of the resulting minimized window.

Hello,
It's been a while since this issue was reported.
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
