Description: When working on a Laptop with an attached second screen that extends the desktop I found that some dialogs from the Menus appear on the original (Master screen) even WRITER is in full screen on the secondary screen. Then I start to wonder where ist my search dialog, which appeared on the other screen. Steps to Reproduce: 1. connect a secondary monitor via VGA, DVI or HDMI cable 2. setup your Windows (or macOS) to extend your desktop 3. Open LO WRITER and move the App screen over to the extended workspace (second monitor 4. maximize the app and type something 5. go to menue Edit > Find and Replace 6. The dialog opens up but on the master screen (laptop or main desktop) Actual Results: The dialog opens up but not on the secondary monitor, where the app has been maximized, yet it can be found on the master screen (laptop or main desktop), which is a bit confusing. Expected Results: the dialog box for Find and Replace is supposed to be displayed on that monitor screen and desktop, where the app is currently displayed Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: In CALC this works fine in dual monitor mode

Created attachment 178162 [details] Options being displayed on 2nd screen for Writer - Tabbed Interface I have a similar issue when using LibreOffice in the tabbed interface also on a laptop and 2nd monitor. The options are displayed on the 2nd screen instead of being displayed on the same window. This is the case when LibreOffice is full screen on the left hand side (monitor). However when LibreOffice is full screen on the right hand monitor the menu options are displayed within the application window. Please see attached screenshot. I would expect the menu option to be displayed within the application when using both screens as this is inconsistent and cause confusion. kind regards, John Version: 7.3.0.3 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 0f246aa12d0eee4a0f7adcefbf7c878fc2238db3 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI: en-US Calc: threaded

I suppose, that there is an underlying problem: The dialog position to parent is off (dialog doesn't open centered to main screen); same with Table of Content dialog (see bug 146562) => Status NEW Tested with Version: 7.3.0.3 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 0f246aa12d0eee4a0f7adcefbf7c878fc2238db3 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL Hope you agree, that we change bug summary.

sure, no problem

sorry, I am not a programmer,yet a user only. Hence, not really familiar locating repositories for this LO Version 7.4.0 could you please send me the link to it? thanks, Harry
I found 7.4.0.0 alpha, will test now, Harry
Hi Dieter, David, just installed LO 7.4.0.0 alpha. The difference now, when I open the Find & Replace dialog from within the Edit menue it now appears in the center of the other desktop screen. Earlier in 7.3.x it appeared somewhat at the lower right corner of the other desktop screen. Remember, I maximized WRITER on the extended desktop, there I started to Find and Replace something, but the dialog to enter my search/replace string happens to show up on the primary desktop screen means on the other Display well at least it is kind of centered horizontally and vertically. If that is what you wanted, well okay. I assumed it should be shown on the same screen where the WRITER app is attached/maximized to. best, Harry
Hi, another idea what I figured out. When I moved the WRITER app over to the primary screen and try to search and replace again for something, the corresponding dialog apears again where it was earlier moved to by myself (so the app can remember its position where it had been located by the user. this is probably a good solution
HTK300, thank you for retesting. You're right, that the bug is still present, but fix of bug 146562 makes it now more obvious Actual result: Find & Replace dialog always opens on monitor 1 (also, if LO Writer is open on monitor 2) Expected result: Find & Replace dialog should alsways open on the same monitor LO Writer is opened Tested with Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 040b3198fde3385e19e7380fdcabae84a0abac9d CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL and with Version: 7.3.2.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 49f2b1bff42cfccbd8f788c8dc32c1c309559be0 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL Similar bugs with other dialogs: bug 101641, bug 120903
