You can jump to next object with little arrows in bottom right of the window. Between arrows, there is navigation button, which allows to select what object to circle (e.g. notes, tables, bookmarks). Whichever one you choose, it is set in ALL Writer windows. If you select notes in one file, you will jump to next/previous note in other files as well. I think that change should be window-depended. Simple scenario: I have written some text. I have send it to my friend for him to check it out. He gives me some comments in notes, save file and send me it back. I open two files - my text and file edited by my friend. In my text, I want to use ctrl+f to quickly locate fragments that need my editing. In my friend's file, I want to jump from one note to another. But if I use ctrl+f in one file, "next" arrow will get me to searched string, not next note. There can be other scenarios as well. Generally, when someone changes navigation object in one window, he or she wants it to stick that way, whatever happens in other windows. Regards Mirosław Zalewski PS. Sorry for my poor English, I hope you understand what I mean.

Created attachment 81304 [details] screenshot of Writer with "Navigation" pane open
Steps to reproduce: 0. Start Writer 1. Click button "New" on main toolbar 2. Click button "Navigation" in bottom-right corner of screen (with circle on button) This phase is shown on screenshot where we can see tabs of both open documents on top of screen and "Navigation" toolbar moved into middle of screen. 3. Click any button on "Navigation" toolbar. For example "Table". 4. Select another document and do step 2 described above Expected: mode of "Navigation" for second document remains unchanged Actually: it changed for both document Reproduced in 4.0.3 on Fedora (RFR) 64 bit Goal is that "Navigation" mode should be separate for each document or separate for each window of document.
