Bug ID: 155781
Summary: documents never open up where I left off.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.4.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
as the summary says. Documents never resume where they are left off. both on
windows 7, windows 10, and I've tried it on 3 linux distributions, so I know
this is a gigantic bug that exists on the platform LibreOffice itself.
Steps to Reproduce:
This happens on linux and windows on all releases I've tried.
1. open any document, it isn't where I left off. Ever.
2. I do have a name entered in the author box, it still doesn't work and is
often 10+ full pages off of where I left off.
3. even shift+f5 it is still off.
Actual Results:
Not where I left off. Ever. Disrupts my workflow and it's an annoyance that
shouldn't persist this long.
Expected Results:
I expect a document to open up and be where I left it off. The page should be
in the same orientation that I left it in, and the type cursor should be right
behind the last letter I left it at. Without fail.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
This was solved in OpenOffice and people have complained about this for years.
I love OpenOffice and I want to love LibreOffice too, but ignoring these kind
of fixes is what eventually kills the platform. Shift+f5 is not an acceptable
fix/answer, and while it usually brings me to the page I left on, the cursor is
still off sometimes. I shouldn't have to hit any keys or do anything to have my
work pickup where I left off.
