Bug ID: 157660
Summary: Writer's "Styles and Formatting" window forgets it's
supposed to be undocked
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.7.1 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: ckore...@atlanticbb.net
Description:
Hitting F11 or selecting the Styles -> Manage Styles menu option causes
Writer's Styles "Styles and Formatting" window to appear docked inside the main
Writer window. The document display gets squeezed to the left.
"Styles and Formatting" can be undocked by selecting "Undock" from its menu
button, making it a separate window on the desktop, and allowing the document
display to revert to its normal width.
THE PROBLEM: Closing the Styles and Formatting" and selecting the Styles ->
Manage Styles menu option again causes Writer's Styles "Styles and Formatting"
window to appear docked inside the main Writer window again; it forgets that
it's supposed to be undocked.
This might seem like a minor issue, but for my typical use case (>100,000 word
document in "Web" view mode) shrinking and growing the document display means
reflowing the whole document, which renders Writer unusable for ~20 seconds
while it happens, and causes the display to show a different part of the text
that what I'm working on.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select View -> Web in Writer
2. Open a large document
3. Select Styles -> Manage Styles
4. Select "Hamburger" -> Undock to make "Styles and Formatting" a separate
window
5: Close the "Styles and Formatting" window
6: Select Styles -> Manage Styles. "Styles and Formatting" is docked again.
Actual Results:
"Styles and Formatting" appears docked regardless of its previous undocked
state
Expected Results:
"Styles and Formatting" appears undocked is its previous state was undocked
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
This issue appeared only in very in recent versions.
