330m5, engl. with german lang.-pack, Win XP, default options open any writer doc with more than one page choose page preview close page preview the page with the last saved cursor position is shown instead of the actual cursor position at the page wich was shown in page view same behavior if you doubbleclick at a page wich was shown in page view expected behavior: the page is shown at which you have doubbleklicked really annoying in long documents works as expected in OOo 3.2
Not a P2. @OS: reminds of issue 40416.
Issue 40416 says (almost) the opposite of this issue. The editing position is restored after closing the print preview. If a page is double clicked in the preview then _this_ page is used as new editing position. If this would be changed all those uses will be annoyed who only wanted to view the preview but didn't want to lose their editing position. Additionally: Which page should be selected if multiple pages are previewed - maybe the complete document at once? Changing state to Worksforme
No, you misunderstood I create a writer document with 4 Pages. Cursor position is at the end of the last row of page 4 when I save the doc. Then I go to the second row at page 2 and add one word. After this I open page preview. Page 2 was shown as expected. But closing page preview using "Close Preview" button shows page 4 with the cursor at the position when i saved the document. Expected behavior: page 2 was shown. Same behavior if I close the preview with doubble klick on the previed page 2: Page 4 is shown instead of page 2 . If I do this in OOo 3.2, page 2 is shown as expected. In addition: If I open multipage preview in OOo 3.2 and all 4 pages are shown, it is possible to doubble click on page 3 and page 3 is shown to work on and not the last editing position at page 2. Page 2 is only shown if you close preview using the preview button.
o.k., I obviously misunderstood.
In other words : When in preview mode you read a long document, you change pages; then if you double-click on a word in a page you should return to edit view with the cursor positionned exactly on the same page and same word. This feature has worked since all previous versions including 1.1.x. It is very handy because you cannot edit a document in preview mode. This is a regression which should have been corrected before 3.3 release.
