Description Reuben Thomas 2013-04-09 16:52:43 UTC
Problem description:

Working with a full-screen window is a great way to work without distractions such as a ticking clock, new email indicator &c. However, LibreOffice full screen mode does not just make the window full screen, it also removes the menus and toolbars, thus making editing much less convenient.

I understand that some users will prefer things this way; making LibreOffice remember separate chrome configurations for full screen and normal windows would allow us to configure its operation to taste.

Current behavior:

When I go to full screen mode, most of the UI chrome disappears.

Expected behavior:

Unless I tell LibreOffice to display different chrome in full screen mode, it should display the same as when windowed.
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: unspecified

Great idea. Marking as:

New
Enhancement
High - seems like this would be wanted by anyone using full screen. Furthermore you can't even open a dialog (such as styles dialog) when full screened.

ProposedEasyHack - no clue if this is true but maybe so put it on there to look for code pointers

LibreOffice is powered by a team of volunteers, every bug is confirmed (triaged) by human beings who mostly give their time for free. We invite you to join our triaging by checking out this link:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugTriage

There are also other ways to get involved including with marketing, UX, documentation, and of course developing -  http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/. 

Lastly, good bug reports help tremendously in making the process go smoother, please always provide reproducible steps (even if it seems easy) and attach any and all relevant material

In order to limit the confusion between ProposedEasyHack and EasyHack and to make queries much easier we are changing ProposedEasyHack to NeedsDevEval.

Thank you and apologies for the noise
