Summary: When minimizing Libresoft Writer program using top
corner minimization, window shrinks to narrow window
and unable to restore window size
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: jacob.ster...@gmail.com
Description:
When minimizing Libresoft Writer program using top corner minimization, window
shrinks to narrow window and unable to restore window size.
Tried the Unminimize button, and use the Unmaximize and Maximize feature for
the window but it didn't get restored. I was able to eventually find it, but
the size is so small, it is hard to restore using a labtop touchpad mouse.
This bug is probably present on all Libresoft windows like Calc, Writer,
Presentation, but haven't confirmed that yet. However, have confirmed it is
present in Writer. Seems to happen with near-empty "untitled" documents more
than it with documents with actual pages of writing.
Steps to Reproduce:
Only reproduced it a couple of times. There has to be multiple windows open on
the taskbar.
1. Click on the Minimize button on the top-right-hand corner of the window (_)
2. Once minimized, click on file in the taskbar with left button. It will not
be able to select it the first time.
3. Click once more on the same file in the taskbar with the left click, and
then right click on the same file in the task bar.
4. Select the Unminimize feature from the list after right clicking. If things
are working, the window will appear. However, in some cases randomly, the
mouse left click will appear to do nothing. You will only be able to see a
problem once you minimize all other windows, and click on the original file to
see the discoloration from the "sliver window" on the bug.
Actual Results:
It appeared that the open file was non-existent and appeared to close. I had
to close all the windows and select that original file to see that the
"minimized" window was a sliver on the screen, with a grey slice a few pixels
wide. I had to use my mouse to expand the window from a sliver to an actual
sizeable window.
Expected Results:
Window should have just reappeared at its original window size, or in its
maximized window size with good visibility.
Reproducible: Sometimes
User Profile Reset: No

Locale: en-US
Module: TextDocument
[Information guessed from browser]
OS: Linux (All)
OS is 64bit: yes
One last detail. I found that my computer was in the middle of a TimeShift on
the OS, which means it is in the middle of backing up the settings. This could
be taking up processing power and limiting full functionality.
Lastly, though it is a visual bug, User instinct is to close the file, losing
latest information in file. It is somewhere between Normal Severity and Minor
Severity.
