            Bug ID: 158275
           Summary: Add "Split Window" to LO Writer
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Would it be possible to add a "split Window" feature (in the "View" menu) in
Libreoffice writer?

I simply do not understand why this so useful and basic feature is not
implemented while it is in Libreoffice Calc?

Some may say that there is already a built-in equivalent with "Window - New
Window" which I completely disagree. First, this option opens a new instance of
the file and takes much more screen space which can be a problem on small
laptops for instance. Second, because it is another LO Writer's instance, the
whole menu on the top and the icons are also present which makes less available
screen. Third, the "split screen" option is quicker because there is no need to
move any window, which improves the workflow. 

If already implemented in one of your software (LO Calc), why not adding it to
LO Writer? Is it a patent problem with MS Office which offers that option?
