Description Kü 2013-11-11 07:20:37 UTC

I have installed several LibreOffice versions in parallel for testing purposes.

When I enable/disable the Quickstarter in one LibreOffice version, this setting affects all other installed LibreOffice versions too. (Comment: every version has its own user directory.)

Expected behavior: The Quickstarter is only enabled/disabled in that LibreOffice version, in which I enabled/disabled it.

Shown behavior: The Quickstarter is enabled/disabled in all installed LibreOffice versions.

This behavior concerns here all versions from 3.3 to 4.2 (Alpha1).

My system configuration: Debian Linux Testing (x86) with XFCE UI and LibreOffice 4.1.2.3 (distro edition) as well as various community editions in parallel (every with its own user directory).

Hello Christian, *,
I can confirm it with installed LO Version: 4.1.3.2 Build ID: 70feb7d99726f064edab4605a8ab840c50ec57a (with installed Germanophone lang- as well as helppack), parallel installed versions master 4.2.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 518f404db780939e3f1d96300ebeeb1faaad6838 TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@46-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2013-11-07_00:43:33 and also Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: 518f404db780939e3f1d96300ebeeb1faaad6838 TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@46-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2013-11-07_00:43:33 (also with installed Germanophone lang- as well as helppack) under Debian Testing AMD64 and KDE 4.10.5 ... :( When I enable the Quickstarter via "Tools – Options – LibreOffice – Memory" in 4.1.3.2, the Quickstarter opens in KDE's taskbar. If I then start either master and/or 4.2.0.0alpha1, I suddenly see additional Quickstarter(s) there, too ... :( I have installed master as well as 4.2.0.0alpha1 following the instructions on https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel#Step_4_-_Optional.2C_but_Recommended_when_Testing:_Changing_the_User_Profile_location, which should lead to a separate user profile in the install directory. I was expecting, that opening a Quickstarter in one version would not interfere with the other versions ... :(
HTH
Thomas.
