When accessing menu "window", a list of windows opened in all components (oowriter, oocalc is what I use) is supposed to appear. Bug: Contrary to expectation of seeing the list of all windows currently opened by libreoffice, quite often it includes only the one window in which this "window" menu is activated. After a while, when this menu is activated later (Alt-W), more window titles appear in this menu (showing mostly correct list), but occasionally it shows a title of window which has been opened a few days back. Installed from Fedora 23 default RPM repository. About: Version: 5.0.4.2 Build ID: 5.0.4.2-3.fc23 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8)
Actually, I've noticed that the bug manifests in additional wierdities : - the window list (invoked by pressing Alt-W) often contains an already-closed document, and - clicking on an item on the list causes a window to pop up that contains another item on the list, not the one I selected
What desktop environment are you using?
Hello For the test, could you rename your LibreOffice directory profile (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile) and give it a new try?

Ok, does it make a difference with the problem, if you launch LibreOffice from the command line like this: SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen soffice
(In reply to raal from comment #3) > Hello > For the test, could you rename your LibreOffice directory profile (see > https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile) and give it a new try? 1. I have quit office : # ( ps auxwww | grep office | grep -v grep ) | wc -l # => 0 lines 2. renamed mv ~/.config/libreoffice/4 ~/.config/libreoffice/x-4 3. experienced same behaviour :(
(In reply to bugs bunny from comment #1) > Actually, I've noticed that the bug manifests in additional wierdities : more description of behaviour : When I switch (Alt-Tab) to another office window, and press Alt-W immediately, a the menu with a shorter list of windows comes up. Then I press Esc twice (to get rid of the popup menu), wait a couple of seconds, press Alt-W again, and see a longer (complete) list of windows. Now I am not sure yet whether I see the labels of files in this list that have been closed for hours right away after I switch (e.g. via Alt-Tab) and press Alt-W, or whether I see such "old files/windows" in the list even after several seconds.

( A whole set of different-looking dialog boxes are used - something to the tune of Motif - but things like dialog box sizes are not remembered, whereas without use of SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN sizes are remembered between subsequent uses (e.g. size of Open File dialog) How do I mark this thread "a almost fully working workaround" has been found instead of "FIXED" ? thanks a bucketee ... bugs bunny
(In reply to bugs bunny from comment #8) > How do I mark this thread "a almost fully working workaround" has been found > instead of "FIXED" ? Let's leave this open. Me or someone else will later confirm this on KDE. You can also try gtk instead of gen.
Not reproduced. Tried 5 windows, Writer and Calc. Manjaro KDE Plasma 5 with the latest updates. LibreOffice Versio: 5.0.4.2 Käännöksen ID: 5.0.4.2 Arch Linux build-3 Maa-asetus: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8)
I believe it's the same thing that was fixed in Bug 97665 (see Bug 97665 comment 8). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 97665 ***
