screent shot of my monitor setup

Hi,

system: Windows 7, 64 bit, i7 CPU, 16GB ram, 4 monitors.

As I'm sure you're aware, most apps on a Windows system will remember the last monitor position they were opened, moved to and closed on. E.g., if there are two monitors and you open and move a document to the 'second' monitor and close that document, the next time that same document (or others related to that application) is opened, it will open on the 'second' monitor (the last one the document was viewed on).

Problem: when any LibOff document is opened, moved to a monitor of choice and eventually closed, it will 'remember' the last monitor it was opened on. However, eventually, when the same document is opened at a later time, or any other LibOff document, it opens on the default monitor (which is the one where my start menu/taskbar resides).

Is it possible to have the 'last monitor used' information attached to the individual document? This way, other app behavior won't affect the individual document.

Thanks.

Is bug 49665 related to this?, if it is please set this bug to a duplicate and set that bug as new -2 people with the same bug-, thank you :)

LO opens where I left off on OS X 10.8.4. Tested with 2 monitors.

I will let you determine if it's related but that bug report (49665) mentioned Mozilla browser which isn't related to this issue and 'compiz' which may be causing some issues and doesn't have anything to do with this issue.

I opened a 'writer' doc and moved it to my right most 4th monitor then closed it. I reopened it, and it opened on the right most 4th monitor, then closed it. I opened it a third time and it opened on my 2nd monitor (the one with the start menu).

To test if the above behavior was reproducible, I repeated the test and got slightly different results:

Opened the doc, moved it to the 4th monitor, closed doc. Opened doc again, it opened on the default monitor (2nd monitor, the one with the start menu).

This occurred a while ago in 3.5.x which is why I stopped using the app. In several revisions, it's still occurring so it's been there for a while.

Anyway, hope you can fix it.

Thanks

Closing a PowerPC-specific bug. Please reopen if it can be reproduced on Intel hardware too.
Comment 5 schmed888 2013-07-28 15:59:07 UTC
I changed the 'platform' to x86-64 since I believe this denotes the correct CPU family I am using. I'm using an INTEL i7-3770 CPU (quad with 8 threads). I will also add that I'm using a Gigabyte INTEL based mainboard. I misunderstood the platform selections as they are not standard diction (i.e. x64 is for 64 bit x86 is for 32 bit; platform usually refers to OS as in Windows, Linux or MAC not CPU architecture). I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

This bug still remains and this report should remain open until it's resolved.

I'm not marking this the same as bug 49665 because 49665 is a different operating system and a different LO version.

Thanks.

Never confirmed - moving to UNCONFIRMED so QA looks at it. Thanks

I can not confirm with win7, LO 4.3.4, 2 monitors. When I close last opened file on second monitor and then open empty file, this file opens on the second monitor (not main monitor). Same when I open file from explorer. Please, could you test with LO version 4.3.x & four monitors? Thank you

schmed888, please give update of the bug status with 4.3.x in your 4 monitor environment. I set status to NEEDINFO
