Description Stephen Walker 2025-04-14 00:52:56 UTC
Description:
When launching LO Calc by double-clicking its shortcut, if there is an unsaved document from a previous session, that document is opened but not a new, blank Calc spreadsheet. This creates confusion, as the user initiated Calc but may be presented a Writer document and no Calc spreadsheet.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a Writer document and enter text, but do not save.
2. Close LO 'improperly' via system shutdown or forced close in Task Manager.
3. Double-click the Calc shortcut.
4. Choose 'Recover Selected' to recover the Writer document.

Actual Results:
A Writer recovery dialog appears and opens the unsaved Writer document. However, Calc does not open a new spreadsheet.

Expected Results:
LO should open both the recovered Writer doc AND a blank Calc spreadsheet. Spreadsheet should be on top.
