Description Michael 2026-01-28 13:52:07 UTC
Description:
This functionality actually happens when Libre Office crashes, and asks you if you want to recover selected documents - you select what you want, hit ok, and then the windows reappear where they were before. It works really well.

As it stands now, when clicking exit from an open Writer document's file menu, one click will close all windows. But launching Writer then starts with only a blank page.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Writer
2.Open a few documents
3.Go to File->Exit, all windows close
4.Launch Libre Writer, blank page

Actual Results:
blank page

Expected Results:
All document windows were restored to where they were when I exited Writer


Reproducible: Always
