The LO documentation for v7.4 says: https://help.libreoffice.org/7.4/en-US/text/scalc/01/07080000.html?&DbPAR=SHARED&System=UNIX that you can split your window in two by choosing View | Split Windows or dragging the thick black line at the top of the vertical scrollbar. Neither of these two UI elements are available. Frankly, I think they should just be available, but this is just a bug about the discrepancy of the documentation and the app. I'd also appreciate a link to the bug which tracked the removal of the actual split capability.
Created attachment 178685 [details] screenshot On pc Debian x86-64 gtk3 with master sources updated today, no pb to split window on Calc.
About discrepancy of the documentation, you can try to contribute by taking a look here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation, there are parts which explain how to contribute.
Hmm. On this page: https://help.libreoffice.org/7.4/en-US/text/scalc/01/07080000.html?&DbPAR=SHARED&System=UNIX the header says "Writer"; and this is a Writer bug. But I see that the URL mentions calc for some reason. Weird. Anyway, I feel I do enough work reporting bugs and triaging RTL, Hebrew and Arabic bugs. Let other people work on the documentation :-P

Olivier: any idea here? > > Anyway, I feel I do enough work reporting bugs and triaging RTL, Hebrew and > Arabic bugs. Let other people work on the documentation :-P Ok. 1) I didn't tell it explicitely in my previous comment but I don't think there's any discrepancy here. Try to respect the work made by people. I mean, dealing with documentation of an app is not easy and quite tedious. Moreover LO is quite big and there are removing, changing, adding code quite often, it's quite difficult to be up-to-date. 2) Before telling "I'd also appreciate a link to the bug which tracked the removal of the actual split capability.", at least wait for the confirmation of the bug. I don't know about if there was this feature on Writer but it's present on Calc. So perhaps the only bug here seems to be the wrong "Writer" category instead of "Calc". Now yes there are a lot of pbs in LO because it lacks a lot of people helping in different parts: - Base coding - Removing Java part - accessibility support - documentation - MacOs support (with the arrival of new security features + Arm processor, it's a mess) - support of Thunderbird address book (nowadays Thunderbird uses Sqlite instead of Mork but LO doesn't deal with Sqlite so it's not possible anymore to use TB address book) - Writer layout management and certainly many others so being despising won't help to improve situation.

Let other people work on the documentation :-P The header of the bookmarks says Writer because of the SHARED URL parameter. All search results are displayed.
