Bug #: 47049
Summary: Minimized document then opened from explorer does not
restore
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.5.0 Release
Platform: x86 (IA32)
OS/Version: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Libreoffice
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
In windows (tested Win XPsp3, clean install LibraOffice 3.5.0r3):
1. Open a LibreOffice document (brand new trivial document).
2. Minimize the document to the task bar.
3. Open the same document again from windows Explorer.
4. User experience is that nothing happens.
Expectation: the opened document should "restore" from the task bar - otherwise
most any user will think the "open" did not work.
Core issue: My original test was with LibreOffice "Writer", but I also
confirmed "Calc" and so I suspect this is a core library issue and thus
reported it as just LibreOffice, without citing a component.
This issue was brought to my attention helping a relatively novice user who
repeatedly assumed "the document was broken", when in fact it was simply
already open. This seems like an important "real world" issue that likely
confuses very many users, especially with open documents "group" stacked on the
task bar, and thus important to user acceptance and use of the product.
Note: this was originally noted on a Windows 7 system. When I was unable to
find any related item in Bugzilla, I downloaded the current release LibraOffice
3.5.0r3 and installed on a few week old fresh Windows XPsp3 build. I found the
issue to be 100% reproducible. Please do not hesitate to contact me if someone
looking into this does not find it repeatable, and I will be happy to dig
deeper.
