------- Additional comments from soit...@openoffice.org Wed Oct 28 18:02:11 +0000 2009 ------- I was about the submit the described behaviour as a new bug but then found that this already exists here, so I just append my experience and comments here: BUG/DEFECT/ISSUE: Openoffice opens windows always on the same X display as the first OpenOffice application window DETAILS: After an Openoffice (3.1.1) application window has been opened in some X-display for example, DISPLAY=:0.0 or DISPLAY=:0.1 in dual screen setup (no Xinerama) each additional Openoffice window always opens up in the same X display as the first one. STEPS-TO-REPRODUCE: 1.open some Openoffice document on any X-display in multi screen setup environment 2.the OO-application opens up corretly on the specified X-screen 3. open another Openoffice window with using the DISPLAY variable or CLI -display option specifying some other X-display ACTUAL RESULTS: Openoffice application opens the window on the same (and incorrect) X-screen as the first one. EXPECTED RESULTS: The Openoffice application window should open up on the other specified X-screen (different than the already opened one). As its seems that it is not possible (and not even desirable) to start another Openoffice-process for this, the running application should be able to open different document windows (wheter they are Writer, Calc or Impress windows) to different X-displays. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: This bug was detected on: - DELL D820-laptop running Ubuntu 9.04 - DM: Gnome 2.20.10 (Metacity WM) on Nvidia G72M graphics card(GeForce Go 7400) - OpenOffice.org: 3.1.1, OOO310m19 (Build:9420), - OO-package: openoffice.org-core 1:3.1.1-1ubuntu1jaunty - Xorg-server: 1.6.0 (2009-2-25), - X-package: xorg-server 2:1.6.0-0ubuntu14 As a further note, other X-applications like Gnome-terminal, Emacs and even Firefox (using different profiles atleast) are able to open different windows to different X-displays. FINALLY: Even if Mozilla-suite does not cope with this as well as it could be handeled (like Emacs for example), this does not mean that OpenOffice could not perform better in this regard. Also, I really would like to know what (technigal) design decision or implementation detail really restricts running OpenOffice instrance to connet to only one X-display (as stated by mst above) Cheers for all, and wishing for some constructive decisions to be made to overcome this limitation of not being able to use multiple X-screens with OpenOffice-suite. -jukka --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
