Description John Walker 2023-06-12 01:43:02 UTC
Description:
as the summary says. Documents never resume where they are left off. both on windows 7, windows 10, and I've tried it on 3 linux distributions, so I know this is a gigantic bug that exists on the platform LibreOffice itself. 

Steps to Reproduce:
This happens on linux and windows on all releases I've tried.
1. open any document, it isn't where I left off. Ever.
2. I do have a name entered in the author box, it still doesn't work and is often 10+ full pages off of where I left off.
3. even shift+f5 it is still off.

Actual Results:
Not where I left off. Ever. Disrupts my workflow and it's an annoyance that shouldn't persist this long.

Expected Results:
I expect a document to open up and be where I left it off. The page should be in the same orientation that I left it in, and the type cursor should be right behind  the last letter I left it at. Without fail.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
This was solved in OpenOffice and people have complained about this for years. I love OpenOffice and I want to love LibreOffice too, but ignoring these kind of fixes is what eventually kills the platform. Shift+f5 is not an acceptable fix/answer, and while it usually brings me to the page I left on, the cursor is still off sometimes. I shouldn't have to hit any keys or do anything to have my work pickup where I left off.

There are MANY possible duplicates for this report. I chose the one with the most duplicates already, though perhaps it better fits under bug 141586 or bug 92821 or bug 34515.
