I am German native, so I use the German version. It may be that some terms aren't exactly what would be used in English, but I try. Please ask for clarification in case you don't understand what I mean. The format templates can be opened in a window. I have a wide screen, so there is plenty of room to place the format templates window in a section where there is no document opened. As I need the list of format templates frequently, I want it always available and not only through the drop-down menu. When I open another document, the format templates window moves to another position, i.e. to the upper left area of the screen (not into the corner of the screen), where the new document has been placed. This way, it covers up part of the document window and important buttons. So I have to move it back to the place where I had put it initially. This does not necessarily happen with the second document to be opened. I sometimes can open three or four documents, and the format templates window still stays at the same place. But with the next document being opened, it's over and the templates window moves to cover the document. This problem is not related to the size of the document window. None of the windows cover part or all of the space that the format templates window occupies, hence that window could easily stay in place. But it doesn't, while it should.
[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html
The problem still persists in LOdev 3.5. I just checked it out thoroughly. Since I reported the bug, I have upgraded my hardware and installed another distribution (Kubuntu 11.10), from which I deduct that the problem must be related to LO and not the windows manager or so (I used Gnome under Linux Mint before). The only thing is that there is no real reproducability. The problem occured the first time after the 5th doc was opened, then it didn't occur with the 6th one, but after closing two documents, it again happened with another. Then I closed one document where I had moved the format templates window to the free desktop area, and then opened it again. The format templates window again moved to the upper left corner (more or less opposit to where I had placed it before), covering up important sections of the document. it happens with LOWriter and LOCalc docs, I didn't test with other modules.
Thanks for bugreport Please, attach screenshot of right position of windows on screen and screenshot of wrong position
Created attachment 57937 [details] This is the image that shows the template box at the right place

Thanks for attached screenshot And I have one question: why not dock Stylist window to main office window (for docking window press ctrl and double click on Stylist window on top of it beneath of title, between some icons and icon of bucket or move Stylist window to right hand edge of main Writer window until appears rectangle, indicating that it can be docked) (For open Stylist window use F11, if it works) Sorry if I understand problem wrong. If so, please, explain what should be

If so, please, explain what should be Hi, sorry for not replying earlier to this message - I missed it. I don't want to dock the stylist window, because it disturbs me in handling the documents, and it takes much more space than needed (the box uses up space for the entire height of the document, while undocked it is much shorter, depending on how I size it.
Thanks for additional information. As I can see, it is Enhancement request.
I have now upgraded to 3.5.4.2 (KuBuntu, 64 bit) and the behaviour of the format template window has become worse: Now it moves always back to overlay the document window, though not in the upper left corner, but in the lower right corner. That's not so bad as before, but it is still the wrong location - I just want it to stick at the place where I put it initially when starting LO. What is worse: it re-places itself to that location on top of the document window when I leave that virtual desktop on which LO is placed. It is alwas placed there when I open another document and does not stick to the location where I put it. Earlier, it stuck to that location at least for the window which was already open.
In light of all of the changes in the UI (try out MUFFIN in 5.3, and styles in the docking bar has become standard), there is a lot of flexibility now for different preferences. This needs to be re-evaluated. I think you should be using the docked area as Sasha suggested.
I do that because I have no other choice. But I'm not happy with it, because this docked area takes a lot of screen space which forbids for example to have two pages side by side, makes it difficult to handle landscape format etc.
