Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 98686
Impossible to work with notes and using 2 document windows
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:44:00 UTC
Notice: I found this trying to reproduce issue 98673 in DEV300m39. The present issue blocks issue 98673 which is based on OOo 3.0 (m9) Noted below, multiple bugs which may have the same root cause... Description: 1) new text document 2) "Window - New window" 3) place the to views of the same document side by side 4) insert a note in window 1 (it also appears on window 2 -> ok) BUG 1: it doesn't matter where you actually set the cursor (windows 1 or 2), it blinks in the note on windows 2. 5) Type something in the note BUG 2: the text only appears in the window which has the cursor. 6a) click in the text body of the document which doesn't have the cursor (and where the note is empty) BUG 3: the note disappears from both windows! 6b) instead of 6a), click in the note which is empty and write soemthing BUG 4: both windows have notes with different texts. Only 1 version will be kept on saving
Reassigned. @MOD: I don't know if the "2+ windows document view" has been specified and has a solid concept. Other weird things happen with the notes in this mode. Some things I still didn't test further but that we can track (Other issues!): - repaint problems when zooming in 1 window - ability to switch the notes off in window 1 -> notes in window 2 are still visible but the the notes pane disappeared.

Created attachment 60073 [details] Zoom level controls
Another bug in this issue: * Zoom layout options affects both windows. Please see the attached picture to view the controls I am talking about.
mod->motoster: not related to notes, please create a new issue for this
bug 2,3,4 fixed
bug 1 found and fixed as well remaining issue: - ability to switch the notes off in window 1 -> notes in window 2 are still visible but the the notes pane disappeared.
mod->es: as this can lead to data loss very easily and is a very easy to fix, should this be a 3.1 stopper? >>Some things I still didn't test further but that we can track (Other issues!): >>- repaint problems when zooming in 1 window >>- ability to switch the notes off in window 1 -> notes in window 2 are still >>visible but the the notes pane disappeared. would you create new issues for these two?(couldn't reproduce the repaint issue, would need step by step instruction)
Please keep it on 3.2. Working on 2 views is not often used I think... I'll re-test the other problems and will write tasks.
Filed respectively issue 100054 (repaint problem) and issue 100056 (hidden notes).
fixed in cws notes9
*** Issue 102759 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
fixed in notes10
See also bugs.debian.org/538109. Put rene on CC.
@MOD: Bug 2 (the text only appears in the window which has the cursor) is not fixed. Do you want a task for another CWS or do I reset the CWS to NEW? (I'd rather reset to NEW because it's a pretty annoying when working with 2 windows that the other one is not synchronized but I am relax on this :) )
mod->es: please test again, it works for me ;-) Note that the text in the second note is not updated "live" while you type each character, but as soon as you change formatting, click somewhere else, loose focus in the note etc. This happens at the same time when undo as well as navigator text is updated.
That's what I meant: "life" for each character. Do you think you'd be able to fix this one day? This is not only what the user expects but also consistent with how works in the document itself (life update). :)
Verified in cws notes10
mod->es: this was not part of this issue and CWS, but I can have a look at it for 3.3. Sending the characters across is easy, but it needs a closer look for other stuff involved such as undo handling, e.g. we don't want to have each character appear on its own inside the undo stack.
@MOS: so I can perfectly live with that and will write you an issue for 3.3 :)
