Mail Merge window in stardard size

Problem description: 

When working with the mailmerge window, this window cannot remember its previous size. It falls back to a default size. This is extremely uncomfortable when working with multiple queries.

Steps to reproduce:
1. write a letter with mail merge functions
2. go to file - print, answer the dialogue with "yes" (do you want to print a form letter?)
3. the windows which opens now is the mail merge window

Current behavior:
The window always opens in default size, so I cannot see all of my queries.

Expected behavior:
The window should remember its size, when it has been opened and resized before.

Platform (if different from the browser): 
Linux (Debian testing), 
LibreOffice 3.4.5 
OOO340m1 (Build:502)
              
Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0

Thanks for bugreport
May be resize functionality added recently and not completely finished.

Where is more handy to hold window size: in document (each document hold it's own windows size) or in LibreOffice profile (on size for all documents)?
Comment 2 Ray D 2012-06-25 07:44:25 UTC
Hello Sasha,

I think it would be better to hold it in LibreOffice profile but with the option that the user is able to change the size. If this is not possible (or too difficult) I would take the other solution.

Anyway, most important is to integrate the functionality, not so important where :-)

Thanks for your work.

Hi Heiko. I noticed you worked on a dialog size, please see this. Or just disregard and hide :)
Comment 7 Heiko Tietze 2022-07-13 11:26:36 UTC
sw/source/ui/dbui/mailmergewizard.cxx is a weld::AssistantController and set_window_state() as in https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/135889 does not work.

Dear Ray D,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
