Needless to mention: I can collapse the structure of a chapter manually by clicking on the downwards arrow head. Yes. I confirm the described behaviour, but I'm not sure about the perfect solution. For example, how can a user signals, that heading list should remains open? cc: Design-Team for further input and decision cc: Jim Raykowski: Jim, any thoughts about this? Can be distinguished between an automatic expand and an manual expand of the Navigator node? If yes, then I would day that automatically expanded nodes will be also collapsed automatically when moving around the document. Only manually expanded nodes will stay open until the user collapse them. Christian mentioned the first option: remember when the user clicks a chapter in the Navigator and don't close in this case. This procedure fails when the node was open before the user reached the chapter. But this could be taken into account too. An alternative is to check if any sibling node is open and to not automatically collapse if so. Not sure if this would be intuitive. What do you think, Jim? Does setting Outline Tracking to Focus mode work for this? Right click on any headings content in the Navigator to show Headings context menu then Outline Tracking > Focus https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108766#c14 This is indeed a manual solution to the problem. Maybe it would be better to reassign the default behavior: - What is now called Focus should be the default setting. - What is now called Default may be called Spread [or something similar].

I agree. BTW, see bug 135668 with request for update documentation.
