Activation status of the line number display in the BASIC editor does not survive LibreOffice restart. Test procedure: 1. Start LO and open the BASIC editor (e.g. via macro editing from within a Calc spreadsheet) 2. Under the View menu, activate the line number display 3. Close LO completely (i.e. all its windows, including the BASIC editor, Calc, etc.) 4. Re-open the BASIC Editor as on step 1 Expected results: 4. Line number display stays activated Actual results: 4. Line number display is deactivated Notes: - Unlike the above, other options in the View menu (e.g. the active by default "Status Bar" and "Input Method Status") DO keep their activation status after the above LO restart when changed. OS: Linux Mint 17.1 (based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS), 3.13.0-37-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 22 21:28:38 UTC 2014 x86_64 LO (4.4.3.2): ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-4
Also, on a related minor note (referring to the "line number column opens too narrow" part of the bug report summary): There seems to be some update trigger missing upon activation of the line number display. I.e.: When one activates it for the FIRST time after the LO start, the number column is shown with its minimum width instead of adjusting to the number width (e.g. hundreds or thousands of lines). It does that though with a subsequent text scroll. Test procedure: 1. Close LO completely (all windows). 2. Open LO and open a long (hundreds of lines) BASIC macro file in the BASIC editor 3. Scroll down the file (to where lines numbers are in their hundreds) 4. Activate the line number display 5. Scroll in the file Expected results: 4. Line number column appears showing the entire number Actual results: 4. Line number column width is enough for the two first digits, with subsequent digits cut off 5. The width adjusts and shows the entire number Whereas the width appears immediately correct on subsequent toggling of the line number display without closing LO.
I could reproduce all of it in the LO 4.3.5 release on WinXP 32 bit. So, I'm going to adjust the reported hardware and LO version accordingly.
