Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 40781
multiple windows in different modes
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
- Open several windows for a Writer document (Window>New Window) - Change one window view to Web Layout (View>Web Layout, was View>Online Layout in OOo1.1) => all other windows but the Web Layout Window close. Idea: keep them open. Displaying a document in paper layout mode and in web layout mode adds to the flexibility of OOo Writer
Hello Matthias, the closing of all documents in print layout is not reproducable, all the documents keep open (checked in build 8831). Can you reproduce it on other current builds too?
this issue is about multiple windows for one documenti (Window>New Window)
Yes, I realized it in the meantime :). That behaviour does not make much sense.

I noticed that, if effect, "Web Layout" is not supported for multiple windows (views) of the same document in OO.org Writer. Using: openoffice.org-writer 1:3.1.1-1ubuntu1~jaunty1 Reproduce (1): 1. Open a Writer document (can be new, empty, unsaved if you wish). 2. View-->"Web Layout" 3. Window-->"New Window". BUG: "New Window" is grayed out, unavailable. Reproduce (2): 1. Open a Writer document (can be new, empty, unsaved if you wish). 2. View-->"Print Layout" 3. Window-->"New Window". A new window/viewport pops up. 4. On one of thees windows: View-->"Web Layout". BUG: All except for one of the windows for that document close. I don't see why Web Layout is not supported. It also made me unsure about the "New Window" feature - I thought it was totally broken until I had to discover this bug on my own. Also, in the steps of "reproduce (2)", there is no warning that all of those windows and their scroll positions will be lost if I switch to Web Layout. All in all, this is unexpected behavior.
