--- Comment #2 from Ernest Bywater <ern...@bywater.net.au> ---
(In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #1)
I'm using Win 7 Pro - the monitors are 2 AOC U2868 28 inch 4 K monitors set to
3840 x 2160 in landscape. I've not specifically tested every menu item, and
usually only use LO Writer, so not tested the other products. The issue occurs
ONLY on the monitor set as the 2nd monitor, if I change primary monitors the
problem transfers - thus I suspect it may be a focus related issue, but I don't
know enough about that side of the software.
I write stories and have a master document in a 6 x 9 inch book format I
transfer edits into from my editors. I open one file up on the primary screen
and one on the secondary screen. On the secondary screen if I click on a word
highlighted as a spelling error the sub-menu window that shows the choices and
dictionary options opens, shows the items for a second or two, then goes blank.
I also have the menu bar along the top of the screen because I prefer to use
it, when I select a menu item it open, shows the options for a second, and then
goes blank. In either, if there is a lower level menu and I hover the mouse
over the spots it is in the next level menu will open for a second and go
blank.
While typing this reply I had a thought and did an experiment with a file.
Single File open in LO Writer. In the primary screen all the menus etc work
fine, drag the LO window over into the secondary monitor and I have the
vanishing menus issue occur. I have a couple of other word processing programs
on the system and I tried the same trick with them, they do not have the
vanishing menu problem. Of the many programs I have running, only LO
demonstrates this issue of the vanishing menus.
I just confirmed it IS a LO Writer issue. I opened a LO Calc file and it does
NOT have the same problem, it displays and works the same on both monitors.
I did try replacing the profile, and it made no change to the problem.
I've no idea what the cause is. But because there's a simple work around of
having the active file on the primary monitor I've put it as a low priority,
but still felt it should be reported in case it affects others as well.
Whatever is causing this may affect something else, later. Many years ago when
I did some programming I was always told to report unexpected behaviour in the
software, so I am.
