I don't think this was inherited from OOo.  I believe this is a regression from LO 5.0.  I was not able to reproduce in LibreOffice 4.4.5.2 and previous versions.

For both Draw and Impress, LO versions before 5.0 remember both the open/close state and their hide/show states for both the sidebar and page/slide panes.

So I'll set the version to 5.0.  Please change it back if I'm missing something obvious.

Confirmed it works correctly in 4.4 daily.

It is definitely a regression- an irritating one at that.  And this isn't the first time we have seen this regression.  Once before (can't remember when), LO lost the ability to remember the state of closing the page pane and it took several versions before it was corrected.

Personally, I detest the page pane- it wastes space, it slows down performance, and it is distracting.  Since 99+% of typical Draw documents are a single page (at least this is my experience and from what I have seen from nearly all my users), it is almost never useful to have the page pane on.  This absolutely needs to be fixed.

Now, the more useful aspect of my posting is this: since 5.0, Impress no longer remembers the state of the page pane, either.  The difference is that in Impress, 99+% of documents are MORE than one page, so this seems to make sense.  So is that a regression too, or a desired new behavior?

I was hoping to make the page pane enabled but closed by default in 5.0, but this bug didnt allow me to do that and also i got opposition to it in bug 90090. Maybe if this is fixed, we can make it happen for 5.1. :D

I don't care if it is open or closed by default, as long as it remembers how I set it.  If I close it, I want it to remain closed not only for that session of LO, but also the next time I launch LO.

The thing that should be writing the config back to user's profile seems not to be properly disposed of (as it should write the config on dispose) ... Reading the config works (if it already exists in user's profile). 

Some bibisect would be really helpful

So the pane's closed state is remembered, but the pane's collapsed state isnt remembered.

Steps:
1) Open Draw or Impress with the pane open
2) Click the hide arrow of the pane to collapse it
3) Reopen Draw or Impress and the pane is shown

Dear Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired),

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
