Description Ulrich Windl 2013-10-07 08:10:34 UTC
When viewing a document with two windows (additional view), the following problem is observed: When changing the view type (e.g. form single page to side-by-side pages) in one view, the other view also changes.
This is not what the user expects.
Comment 1 Ulrich Windl 2013-10-07 08:13:07 UTC
Problem is also present in 4.0.5.2.
Comment 2 Jay Philips 2014-06-07 16:05:25 UTC
Dear Ulrichi,

I dont quite understand the issue as LibreOffice has two views, Print Layout and Web Layout and in Web Layout you can change the view from single page to side-by-side view.

If you could send some screenshots, that would also be helpful.
Comment 4 Ulrich Windl 2014-06-10 07:28:55 UTC
I just checked: I'm always using the print layout. See also bug 71775.
Comment 5 Jay Philips 2014-06-10 09:38:55 UTC
So is 71775 a duplicate of this one? I checked its details and it seems you left quite alot out of this reporting. Can you attach the 1.4mb file here so i can see it. I dont see how you can modify the same file at the same time when one of them should be having a lock on the file. If you say you were modify two different files, that would be more understandable.

Attached for bug 71775 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=100795), because it is more related to that bug.

Yes i see the page jumping from the page numbers. By the way, which screen recorder did you use.

Confirmed in Linux Mint in 3.3.0, 4.2.4 and 4.3 beta.

Steps:
1. open http://www.libreoffice.org/assets/Uploads/EN-Documents/Installingextensions.odt
2. set the page view to side-by-side
3. zoom out so you can see two pages side-by-side
4. scroll down to page 7 (status bar as 'Page 7 / 8')
5. press single page view
6. it jumps to 'Page 4 / 8'

I was using "Corel ScreenCap X6" from Corel Video Studio X6, because that's the only tool I have to do it.
