Bug 40924

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html

The problem still persists in LOdev 3.5. I just checked it out thoroughly. Since I reported the bug, I have upgraded my hardware and installed another distribution (Kubuntu 11.10), from which I deduct that the problem must be related to LO and not the windows manager or so (I used Gnome under Linux Mint before).
The only thing is that there is no real reproducability. The problem occured the first time after the 5th doc was opened, then it didn't occur with the 6th one, but after closing two documents, it again happened with another. Then I closed one document where I had moved the format templates window to the free desktop area, and then opened it again. The format templates window again moved to the upper left corner (more or less opposit to where I had placed it before), covering up important sections of the document.
it happens with LOWriter and LOCalc docs, I didn't test with other modules.

Thanks for bugreport

And I have one question: why not dock Stylist window to main office window
(for docking window press ctrl and double click on Stylist window on top of it beneath of title, between some icons and icon of bucket
or move Stylist window to right hand edge of main Writer window until appears rectangle, indicating that it can be docked)

(For open Stylist window use F11, if it works)

Sorry if I understand problem wrong. If so, please, explain what should be

Hi,

sorry for not replying earlier to this message - I missed it.
I don't want to dock the stylist window, because it disturbs me in handling the documents, and it takes much more space than needed (the box uses up space for the entire height of the document, while undocked it is much shorter, depending on how I size it.

Thanks for additional information. As I can see, it is Enhancement request.

I have now upgraded to 3.5.4.2 (KuBuntu, 64 bit) and the behaviour of the format template window has become worse: Now it moves always back to overlay the document window, though not in the upper left corner, but in the lower right corner. That's not so bad as before, but it is still the wrong location - I just want it to stick at the place where I put it initially when starting LO.
What is worse: it re-places itself to that location on top of the document window when I leave that virtual desktop on which LO is placed. It is alwas placed there when I open another document and does not stick to the location where I put it. Earlier, it stuck to that location at least for the window which was already open.
