Description Lehmeier 2025-10-18 16:20:59 UTC
Hello!
I would like to select the various open documents via “Window,” but LibreOffice refuses to do so.

I probably didn't express myself clearly.
When I click on “Window” in the title bar at the top, it shows me all the documents that are loaded.
But when I try to switch from the third to the first one, it doesn't work anymore. 
It used to work fine, but now LibreOffice refuses to do it.

Ok, I do not know how to help you with this. Alt+tab?
Comment 5 Lehmeier 2025-10-18 16:52:46 UTC
Alt and Tab would be one option, but that doesn't solve the original problem.
It also displays all open folders and documents—not just those from LibreOffice.
This makes the whole thing very confusing.

I tried now something: I opened 3 documents, and from Window menu I can go to the one I want. From document 1 to 3 and so on. You have a listwith all the opened documents, sou you can comute.
Comment 7 Lehmeier 2025-10-18 18:55:34 UTC
That's very strange, it doesn't work for me, even though I uninstalled and reinstalled it.
What else could be causing this?

Please test in safe mode, Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode

Please paste here the information on Menu/Help/About LibreOffice (There is an icon to copy)

This problem no longer exists in the current version ( 25.2.7.2 ).

Thank you for solving the problem.
