Bug ID: 173035
Summary: CALC: Application window ignores saved position and
opens on the far-left edge of the screen on Windows 11
due to empty WindowState coordinates
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc

screenshots of settings described above
Upon launching a new instance of LibreOffice Calc on Windows 11, the
application window consistently opens against the far-left side of the desktop
view. Standard troubleshooting steps (manually resizing while holding Ctrl upon
closing, clearing the user profile cache, and toggling Windows 11's "Remember
window locations" display setting) have failed to resolve the issue. An
inspection of the Expert Configuration menus reveals that Calc is failing to
properly populate or read the core window state parameters.
Technical Configuration Details:
Under org.openoffice.Office.Views:WindowType:
The standard main window components (scalc/10336 and scalc/10365) have
completely blank/empty WindowState string values.
The associated UserData string for 10336 registers a default localized fallback
position starting at X-coordinate 5 (V2,V,0,AL:(5,16,0/0/320/450...)), forcing
the window directly to the leftmost boundary of the primary monitor upon
initialization.
Other auxiliary window states (e.g., scalc/25917 and scalc/26292) successfully
save explicit coordinates (e.g., 851,502,374,199;1;;;;), confirming that only
the primary Calc layout state is failing to write or pull placement attributes
correctly.
Steps to reproduce:
Open LibreOffice Calc on a Windows 11 environment.
Observe the window initializing tightly against the left boundary of the
desktop screen.
Manually drag the window to the center of the display, resize it, and close the
application.
Relaunch Calc. The window resets back to the far-left screen edge.
Note: Google's AI wrote this description based on my troubleshooting attempts,
so let me know if anything doesn't sound right and I will attempt to clarify.
The issue only occurs with Calc, not with the other LibreOffice applications.
Thanks in advance for any tips.
