Description cniehaus 2011-11-26 02:10:17 UTC
Problem description: 

Open any file. Open a second view of that file (a second window). Now align the windows so that you can see both windows at the same time.

Zoom in and out of one window. The zooming is (in theory) independend in both windows. But this is not true. In the inactive window (the one in which you don't zoom) "things" happen:

- The page is moving left/right
- If the passive window is zoomed out so that you don't have the handels at the bottom of the screen (those things you can move left and right to move the view). If you zoom in the active window those handles appear for no reason in the passive window. That makes no sense.

Expected behavior:
Nothing at all should happen in the second window.



I could make a video and upload to vimeo or so if you want. It is a bit difficult to explain...

A friend of mine is able to confirm this bug (also Win7, also LO 3.4.x).

Confirmed with

LibreOffice 3.5.0rc1 
Build-ID: b6c8ba5-8c0b455-0b5e650-d7f0dd3-b100c87

[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.5.2 - Windows Vista Home Premium (32bit) Spanish UI"
Comment 4 sasha.libreoffice 2012-04-26 22:28:29 UTC
reproduced in 3.3.4 and 3.5.2 on Fedora 64 bit
reproducible only with Writer and only with new window  (not new document)

Changing version to 3.3.4 as most early reproducible
Comment 5 Carsten Niehaus 2013-03-08 19:00:42 UTC
Still valid with LibreOffice 4.0. This time with a Windows 8 machine.

Still an issue in 5.2.1.2.
If you have trouble reproducing this, zoom in document in both windows so that horizontal scrolling bar appears. The document's relative X-position seems to be the variable which is shared between windows.i

Comment 20 jdien07 2020-01-21 03:24:40 UTC
For 6.3.4.2 under OS X 10.14.6, open second window with "New Window" command.  Main reason you'd want to do this is to refer to one part of the document while editing another.  Move the second window to the part of the document you want to refer to.  Click on the text in the first window to begin editing.  The second window moves more or less to where the first window is.  Now they both show more or less the same text (not exactly, not sure the exact rule being followed).  Makes the function useless.

Let's bump the priority to "high", given that we currently have 8 duplicates.

Thr horizontal scrollbar in the passive window blinks but do not stay visible.
