Description Phillip Bagwell 2024-05-24 14:24:20 UTC
Description:
If you open a Navigator window using F5, Writer does not remember the screen location of the window when you switch to another document in Writer and then back to the original. Every time you change files, the window location always reset to centered over the document. In previous versions, the Navigator window position and size were always remembered for each document opened.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open any document in Writer.
2.Open Navigator window using F5 and position and size it as desired.
3.Open a second document in Writer.
4.Navigator open in new document centered on document.
5.Switch back to first document. Position of Navigator window resets to centered on document.

Actual Results:
Navigator window opens centered on document

Expected Results:
Navigator window opens centered on document even if previously set to a different position and size.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
Navigator window opens in it's last saved position or centered on document if no previous position was set.

I'm running Fedora 40 and the problem persists. i haven't tried with Windows. Perhaps the problem is unique to Linux or this version of Fedora.

I tried my backup computer which is running Fedora 39 with Libreoffice 7.6.6.3 and it works properly. The Navigation pane opens in the last saved position. I updated to Libreoffice 7.6.7.2 and it also works as expected.

I updated to Fedora 40, which uses Libreoffice 24.2.3.2 and it always resets the Navigation pane to centered on the document whenever switching between two open documents. I tried installing 7.6.7 and it also resets the Navigation pane to centered. The problem may be related to OS changes between Fedora 39 and 40.

Thanks for the report, Phillip.
I assume you use the default GNOME desktop environment, and therefore use the gtk3 VCL plugin. (Please share the full version information copied from Help > About LibreOffice.)
Seems to be the same problem as bug 159948.
