Bug ID: 164231
Summary: UI: Dialog windows open at pseudo-random locations,
often on other screens
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.0.0 alpha1+
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Build:
https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+log/1f15d097cace14ca6e44e7652f460aa3fa7bd150
I have three screens [1:left, 2:middle, 3: right]. With LO Calc open on the
left screen, Format>Conditional>Condition>{choice}[1] dialogs open on different
screens. It would be appreciated if the dialogs opened on the same screen as
the main window.
[1] in trying to produce a matrix of where the dialog window opens, I observed
the dialog window location changes -- repeatedly opening/closing the dialog
window:
Main window on screen 1, dialog window opened: 3-left, 3-mid, 3-right,
1-middle, 1-right, 2-left, 2-middle, 2-right, 3-left, 3-middle, 3-right,
1-middle, 1-right, 2-left, ...
The absolute left, middle, and right locations are somewhat random (not
perfectly located); but this is really detrimental to a good workflow.
The Format menu is notorious for opening dialog windows as far away from the
main window as possible. Main window on left screen, Format>Conditional>{Color
Scale, Data Bar, ...} all open the dialog window at screen 3 lower-right.
Please open dialog windows on same screen as the main window; I'd be happy with
anywhere on that screen, as long as I don't have to look for it on 3 large
screens. Thanks.
