If you use the MacOS feature to drag the document icon in the Window title bar to another location (such as a folder or an email), if the same document was loaded under a particular filename and then saved using Save As... to a different filename, the unamended document under the original filename gets dragged, as oppposed to the most recent version. To reproduce this bug: 1. Create a new text document in LibreOffice Writer. Type "this is the original document" into the document. 2. Save it under the name "Test.odt". 3. Type "And this is an amendment" into the document. 4. Save it under the name "Test001.odt". 5. Drag the document icon from the title bar of the window to another location (such as the desktop). You will find that the dragged document is "Test.odt" and not "Test001.odt". If you open the dragged file, you will see that it does not contain the words "And this is an amendment". The correct behaviour would be for the dragged document to be Test001.odt, and for it to contain the words "And this is an amendment". Thanks Andrew

Which window? The LibreOffice “Start centre”, or a MacOS Finder window? I am assuming and testing for a MacOS “Finder” window, and dragging the Test001.odt to the desktop… Sorry, I opened the dragged file, and it contained the words “And this is an amendment” >> Conclusion: I was not able to confirm the behaviour. Can you provide screen shots of the action: “Drag the document icon from the title bar of the window to another location (such as the desktop)”?
Thanks Mike - I appreciate you responding so quickly. FYI, I'm using LibreOffice version as follows and MacOS Ventura 13.0.1 Version: 7.4.2.3 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 382eef1f22670f7f4118c8c2dd222ec7ad009daf CPU threads: 16; OS: Mac OS X 13.0.1; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded So, I am still getting the issue. And it's even more strange! Here's what I'm doing now. 1. I'm starting with Writer not running. 2. Open Writer, and click on "Create:/ Writer Document" on the sidebar of the window which opens. 3. A window opens with Untitled 1 in the title bar 4. I type "This is the original document" into the new document. (See: https://cloud.orcro.eu/s/ySaEMLWcqKTP6pd for screenshot) 5. I select File/Save As... and save as Test.odt. The directory is my default Document directory. 6. Note that there is no draggable icon next to "Test.odt" on the title bar (see screenshot). You'll note that the "unsaved" indicator (black dot) in the red window control button (top left corner) is NOT showing (i.e. indicating that the document is saved) 7. I type "And this is an amendment" into the document. The black dot ("unsaved" indicator (correctly) shows). 8. I select "File/Save As..." and save the document as Test001.odt. The icon is now showing. See https://cloud.orcro.eu/s/eX8BZAcN5ktgrTB for screenshot) 9. I drag the icon next to Test001.odt in the title bar onto the desktop. As the icon leaves the document window and hovers over the desktop, the name of the file changes to "Test.odt". If I open that file, it contains the content of Test.odt. The same behaviour occurs if I drag it into a Finder window displaying the content of a different directory. For screenshot, see: https://cloud.orcro.eu/s/spef8mosdsg89yE 10. If I try to repeat the drag operation, I get an error box saying document drag error. For screenshot see https://cloud.orcro.eu/s/YAHGBq683fgwYNY Thanks Andrew
Hello Andrew, thank you for the screen shots.. they really helped me understand the problem and the expected behaviour… OK… Version: 7.4.2.3 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 382eef1f22670f7f4118c8c2dd222ec7ad009daf CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 13.0; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded See my comments, “MJL>>” below… 1.

I have chosen the NEEDINFO status, as I believe this will need to be escalated to development.
Status should be NEW per confirmation.
