Priority: medium
Bug ID: 69944
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Print layout with more than one window is erratic
Severity: major
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.1.1.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Here's how I create very erratic behavior with a multi-page document in a
two-monitor setup:
1) I take a multi-page document (ideally maybe at least a 6-page document)
2) I put it on my left monitor with a zoom factor of 71% (then I can see three
pages at the same time)
3) I create a new window of the same document and put that on the right monitor
(with the same zoom)
Problem 1:
4a) I change the zoom factor in the left document with CTRL+mouse wheel and the
resolution in the right one changes, too. This is not useful: I want to see
each window at the resolution I specify. Just because I zoom into a figure in
the let window doesn't mean that in the index on the right I don't want to see
three pages anymore!
Problem 2:
4b) I change the zoom factor in the left document with CTRL+mouse wheel and the
resolution in the right one changes, too. I then double-click into the the
right document and there's always a brief flash in the Writer screen.
Problem 3:
4c) I make the resolution in the left window so large that the page is wider
than can be displayed (e.g. 220%). This time, the right window doesn't follow
along, but clicking into the left and the right window makes the displayed
portions of the windows change erratically.
I am sorry to say but this display thing with more than one window is not done
very well. It's not possible to just do what one wants in an intuitive fashion
and, I hate to admit it, Word solves all of this much better.
