Description Aleksandar Pavić 2020-01-06 08:08:38 UTC

Description:
Open any document in LibreOffice Writer, and set page view to Book view for example.

Then go to Window -> New Window

Change on new window to Single page (original window will be affected as well).

One window shouldn't be affected by changes on another window, only content of document should be affected. 

For example if you use other commands like View Formatting marks, they are not affected in another window.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open document in LibreOffice Writer
2. Set page view to BookView (for example)
3. Go to Window -> New Window
4. On newly opened window set page view to Single page

Actual Results:
It updated page view in original window as well.

Expected Results:
It should update page view only in newly opened window.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Comment 1 V Stuart Foote 2020-01-06 16:12:55 UTC

As with Zoom (bug 43253), and Table cursors (bug 89897) this is an inherited behavior of the ViewShell for "New Window" split windows. But it is annoying.

Dear Aleksandar Pavić,

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

Reproduced in:

Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 479b5bbe8ca2177ba7574e7aa2308b5d0de1895c
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

Associated issues:
- if one view is zoomed out enough to view two pages side-by-side, but the other isn't, then it still shows as single-page view
- in the situation described above, typing in the zoomed-out view makes the view flicker between side-by-side and single-page view
- status bar still shows seemingly different modes, until it refreshes when switching windows
