Bug #: 42470
Summary: Starting LO with "--nodefault" parameter should not
open visible window
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.4.3 release
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Libreoffice
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Steps to reproduce:
1. Make sure no soffice process is already running
2. Start LibreOffice with the command "libreoffice --nodefault"
3. The splash screen appears. (This is the correct behaviour)
4. The LO initial window appears. (This shouldn't happen!)
This is a regression to the behaviour of LO/OOo in previous versions (before
3.4). -nodefault did not open a visible window.
Maybe this was an intentional change because the help text for --nodefault
reads:
"don't start with an empty document"
which is kind of ambiguous but the Ubuntu manpage is much clearer:
"Starts the application without any window opened for the first time."
(Regarding the bad documentation of the parameter, see also
http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46296#c8)
Anyway, I see no reason why the behaviour of --nodefault was changed and this
should be fixed.
