I strongly suggest you not only read and think but also relax before you reply to comments. Also, do it in a a respectful way. Nobody is saying 'just enable the command'. You need to stay calm. I understand people is asking all the time for features and only very few people do the actual work. I acknowledge that and thus I respect the ones who do the actual code and design. And therefore I respect what you do, your time and effort, and I never meant to upset you. This being said, you can always chose not to reply if you feel offended or if you feel you have explained yourself enough (or, if you have a bad day). Now, coming back the our respectful discussion: considering a) that 'Web mode' is like: "use normal mode, just temporarily pretend that the page sizes are WindowWidth x 10 m", and b) the problems in "having different pages assigned to the same content at the same". What about these options: 1) keep the 'Normal mode' as the editable window, while 'Web mode' is read-only. Thus, View -> Web view would open a new window (as it is right now, if I have two 'Normal mode' windows and select 'Web mode' in one of them, the other gets automatically closed). Of course this would only work if the currently open window is 'Normal mode'. 2) allow for multiple 'Web mode' windows, but only one (the first?) can be edited, while the rest are read-only. This would mean that the 'use normal mode' part corresponds to the first window (where you can edit), while the other 'Web mode' windows are just imitations of the first one. If they are read-only and it is a problem that the user resizes different windows, then maybe LO can make a copy of the working document just for visualization purposes, after all it is not going to be modified on those windows. By having only one editable window, we would still respect the 'use normal mode', while all the others are 'imitations' that can not be changed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
