--- 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.
