Description jrowell 2008-05-30 04:40:06 UTC

When I open multiple spreadsheets, I cannot tile or cascade them. I can only
view one at a time. This is a real impediment to productivity - the ability to
tile multiple documents is a very important feature for me.

reassigning features and enhancements to user requirements@openoffice.org which
will be the default owner for those tasks (was introduced some time ago)

Very useful when comparing documents.

Comment 3 rvboni 2014-01-18 12:33:45 UTC

Also useful to see at the same time two sheets in same Calc document.

jrowell: Each spreadsheet document has its own window. Use the features of your OS to show the windows tiled or side-by-side.
rvboni: Use menu Window > New Window to get a second window of the same document. You can select the active sheet independently for this windows.

I see no issue here.

This will be applied by OS to all windows, including non AOO windows. It is desired to arrange specific windows only.

Different windows of the same document may be a confusing solution to some people.

In this case, the interest for tiling or spliting the main window is to gain some place on the desktop (non need to repeat the menu bars and so along).

You are right, it's not an issue but an improvment.

The setting whether a window is shown maximized or not, is independent of the setting for other windows, not only between AOO and other applications, but also between documents in AOO, even between two text documents. Test it. You can switch the documents in the menu "Window".

And even the operating system feature to overlap or show side-by-side is only applied to one group of open windows, not to other application windows in another group, at least not in Windows. In Windows it is Shift-Click on a group in the task bar to get that feature.

rvboni: Having only one application window for all documents, is already covered by bug 12686.
