--- Comment #26 from [email protected] --- I am using Windows 11 (25H2) and LibreOffice Writer 25.8.3 This enhancement is still very much needed. My workflow relies on opening different Writer documents at specific window sizes and positions — for example, slightly wider than A4 so the character‑highlighting bar is visible, and positioned fully on‑screen for a fast start. At the moment, LibreOffice only remembers the last window geometry used for a document type (Writer, Calc, etc.), and applies that globally to all documents of that type. This means that opening one document changes the window size/position of all others, even if they were previously saved differently. This behaviour breaks workflow when switching between multiple documents or modules, especially when each document benefits from its own window geometry. Expected behaviour: Each document should reopen using the window size, position, and maximize state that that specific document had when last saved. Actual behaviour: All Writer documents inherit the last-used Writer window geometry, regardless of their individual saved state. This enhancement has been requested repeatedly since 2011, with multiple duplicates, and the proposed implementation seems straightforward: • On document save: store window width, height, position, and maximize state in the document metadata (e.g., config.xml). • On document load: restore these values if present, clamped to the current screen size. • If no values exist, fall back to the current global behaviour. This would significantly improve usability for anyone working with multiple documents, comparing files side‑by‑side, or using different layouts for different tasks. Thank you for considering this long‑standing request. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
