When going into read-only mode in any document using the edit button or CTRL-SHIFT-M, focus is lost (PageUp/Down no longer works, and CTRL-SHIFT-M is also disabled) until the user clicks on the document text area. May be related to bug 89688
For me not reproducible with LO 4.4.1.2, Win 8.1. Maybe a Linux only issue?
OK, so to be more precise: --version gives 4.4.1.2 40m0(Build:2) On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Cannot reproduce. Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit Version: 4.4.1.2 Build ID: 40m0(Build:2) Locale: en_US
I can reproduce this. Ubuntu 14.04 (lxde) LO 4.4.2.2 -> NEW
This began somewhere in the 4.4 master cycle -> Version: 4.4.0.0beta1 -> Keywords: regression -> Whiteboard: bibisectRequest
Migrating Whiteboard tags to Keywords: (bibisectRequest) [NinjaEdit]
Was it possible to go into edit mode prior to 4.4 - if so...how? it's not in edit -> edit mode, nor is it assigned a keyboard shortcut from what it seems. I'm happy to bibisect but need a little guidance for pre-4.4 releases.
In the absence of replies to comment 7, yes it was possible to go into edit mode prior to 4.4 - but I'm afraid it was so automatic that I can't remember how! Either an icon (probably), or a menu entry in Edit. Sorry that's not as helpful as you'd want, but didn't want to continue the silence ... Happy Christmas!
This seems to have begun at the below commit. Adding Cc: to Samuel Mehrbrodt ; Could you possibly take a look at this one? Thanks 0f9f354ac2a2e115f76429c91aa1ba545a08f328 is the first bad commit commit 0f9f354ac2a2e115f76429c91aa1ba545a08f328 Author: Matthew Francis <mjay.francis@gmail.com> Date: Sun Mar 15 01:49:58 2015 +0800 source-hash-b4558b508141af16d335f45a0f12bdd34521e944 commit b4558b508141af16d335f45a0f12bdd34521e944 Author: Samuel Mehrbrodt <s.mehrbrodt@gmail.com> AuthorDate: Fri Aug 22 22:37:56 2014 +0200 Commit: Thomas Arnhold <thomas@arnhold.org> CommitDate: Sun Aug 24 06:26:17 2014 -0500 fdo#73151 Make better use of the sidebar The general idea is to encourage use of the sidebar instead of floating windows (for Navigator, Styles&Formatting and Gallery) Changes: * Show the sidebar by default in Writer & Impress * Remove the Gallery floating window (Gallery now always opens in the sidebar) * Remove all Gallery, Navigator and Styles&Formatting links from the default toolbar in Writer (since they have an icon in the sidebar and the sidebar is shown by default now) * When selecting "More" from the Styles dropdown, the Stylelist opens in the sidebar instead of the floating window This has all been discussed extensively here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73151 Change-Id: I3a0461d1472711da7121801000af294b432fccb1 Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/11077 Reviewed-by: Thomas Arnhold <thomas@arnhold.org> Tested-by: Thomas Arnhold <thomas@arnhold.org>
That commit only enabled the sidebar by default - did this also happen before when the sidebar was enabled manually?
NEEDINFO as per comment 10
In the absence of any other reply to #10, I first found the bug in 4.4, and since I frequently open documents in read-only mode, I believe it was new then. I hardly ever opened the sidebar manually, so I'm afraid I can't comment adequately on that. Sorry!
NEW -> NEEDINFO considered harmful, as proven again.. correcting status.

Using LibreOffice 5.4.1.2 on Ubuntu 16.04 and opening a document in readonly mode (ie with --view), PageUp/Down and CTRL-SHIFT-M now work as they should, without any need to click on the document text area. Thank you for this fix!
