Description Adalbert Hanßen 2025-05-26 10:23:13 UTC
I used to double click on a headline's representation in the Navigator to locate this headline in the edit window. That does not work any more!
Comment 1 Adalbert Hanßen 2025-05-26 10:26:19 UTC
it does not work any longer in

Please attach a sample file, reduce the size as much as possible without private information,
and paste the information in Menu/Help/About LibreOffice, there is a copy icon.
Comment 3 Alan B. 2025-05-26 15:00:18 UTC
I'm also unable to reproduce this on Windows, could it be platform-specific? Seconding the need for a sample document that produces the bug. (Please note that the attachment will be public; remove any sensitive information before attaching it. 
See <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FAQ#sanitize> for help on how to do so.)

I tested it with today's version

Version: 25.8.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: b16dd0fb306944a02e5d73d4a2bbc68cf80b0b8f
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: en-US

also in the safe mode. The problem persists.

Side finding: When I start the Navigator, it comes up with a tiny window which does not even show any part of the title bar, it just looks like a schematic of a two button computer mouse. I'll report it as a bug separately.

I just found out: this bug is already known as #97894 since 2016-02-16 (!) as being present on Linux versions.
Comment 9 Telesto 2025-05-28 12:31:53 UTC
No issue
Version: 25.8.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community

Maybe GTK3 specific?

Double clicking on the tree part of the Navigator, NOT on the text of the headline) gets you to that place.

The error should be fixed soon, since such errors scare off any inexperienced new user!

The bug is still present in today's development version:
Version: 25.8.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: b852ed9fc8b43cdc335c14aeb71c581daa7d98a7
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: sv-SE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: en-US

This indeed is a gtk3-version.
Comment 12 Buovjaga 2025-06-09 16:25:41 UTC
Indeed, only gtk3 is affected.

Currently I don't have a Linux machine, will try to resolve this once I get my hands on a Linux system.
