Bug ID: 170928
Summary: View document properties in Writer resets viewing back
to start of document.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 26.2.0.3 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I am an academic who reads hundreds of student-submitted documents a week. Part
of the process is that I have to check the document properties to verify
authorship and student effort.
If I'm partway through reading a document (could be several pages in) before I
check the properties, it resets the viewer back to the start of the document. I
suppose its going back to the cursor location, rather than where I was viewing,
since I am reading rather than writing, so the cursor hasn't moved.
I only noticed it start doing this recently, but that doesn't mean its new -
only that I noticed it.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load file.
2. Scroll a few page in.
3. View properties.
4. Close properties.
Actual Results:
Back at start of file.
Expected Results:
To still be where I was, regardless of cursor location.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
After starting in safe mode, resetting profile to factory, I noted that the
actual move back to the start of the document happened before the Properties
dialog opened.
