------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri Apr 3 04:27:44 +0000 2009 ------- See also http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=100775 This bug clarifies that bug, and provides REPRODUCIBLE steps. I confirm the behaviour below on both Ubuntu 8.04 (OOO300m15) and Windows XP (OOO300m9). If I can I shall attach a file. If I can't, then just create a simple one page file with a few characters on the first line, and save the file. Open the previously saved test file. Ensure the view of the FIRST window is Print Layout view. As a reference point for what should work, select Window -> New Window, which should open a SECOND window and both windows should be in Print Layout view. Now add characters to the SECOND window and take CAREFUL NOTE of exactly which characters you add - these added characters automatically appear in the FIRST window, which is correct behaviour - the two windows are synchronized. Now select View -> Web Layout on the SECOND window and the FIRST window gets closed; strange behaviour, appears buggy. SECOND window (remaining) is now in Web Layout view. Now on SECOND (Web Layout) window, click Window -> New Window. This opens the THIRD window, which is a new Print Layout window - should have been a Web Layout window because that's what I started with; now carefully note - THIRD window contains ONLY the original test file, and NOT the new characters added previously (see "take CAREFUL NOTE" above). Next in THIRD window (new Print Layout window) click Window -> New Window. A FOURTH window (Print Layout) appears, for a total of one web layout and two print layout windows currently displaying on screen. In FOURTH window, type a SECOND/NEW SET OF "RANDOM" CHARACTERS into the test file. These characters appear in the THIRD and FOURTH windows, but not in the SECOND window. Now also in the FOURTH window, click View -> Web Layout, and note that the THIRD window closes, leaving the SECOND and FOURTH windows open, both in Web Layout view, neither displaying the same text, and neither synchronizing with the other when new characters are added in either. So if I save the file, the version on disk is which one? Presumably the last one I save. Hopefully this bug, in two different milestones, on two different OSes, is now reproducible. To lose data is really frustrating. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
