Description Baruch Youssin 2015-03-07 17:56:59 UTC
There are too many icons in the launch bar.
When LibreOffice is not running, there is one LibreOffice Calc icon that cannot be removed.

When I open one ods file, another LibreOffice Calc icon appears in the launch bar which opens the window with the open file.  The original icon opens a new LibreOffice Calc window with Untitled.

When I open more ods files, sometimes appear more same icons in the launch bar and sometimes they are controlled by the existing icons.

xls and text files odt and doc always create more icons (LibreOffice Calc or LibreOffice Writer).

If I open many files, the launch bar becomes too crowded and this is inconvenient.

LibreOffice 3 had one icon for each application (LibreOffice Calc, LibreOffice Write, etc.) which could be removed when the application is running, or be Locked to Launcher.  I think this is the appropriate behavior.

Operating system: Ubuntu 12.04.

This is not a LibreOffice bug (it would be Unity’s [https://launchpad.net/bamf]), but I can’t reproduce it anyway. Make sure you’ve installed LibreOffice 4.4.x from the PPA instead of manualy downloading DEBs from libreoffice.org, as PPA packages provide better system integration.
