Description John 2013-03-29 15:54:14 UTC
Problem description: 

selecting any option that spawns a pop-up context menu on a dual-monitor workstation can sometimes open the menu on the other monitor, depending on the last window location of a closed spreadsheet

Steps to reproduce:
** must have 2 or more monitors **

1. open a spreadsheet with a date column on monitor 1
2. select the entire column 
3. right-click
4. select "Format Cells"
5. make a formatting selection and close pop-up
6. move spreadsheet to monitor 2
7. repeat step 3

Current behavior:

uses the last window location of the calc program where it was last closed to calculate the position for the new pop-up window

Expected behavior:

should use the current window position of the active calc program to calculate the position of the new pop-up window
              
Operating System: All
Version: 4.0.1.2 release

As I've been able to confirm this problem I am marking as:

New (confirmed)
Minor - a bit annoying but really not a big deal, can possibly slow down work a little but once you figure out what's going on it's easy to deal with 
Low - default seems appropriate

Dear John,

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


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
