Re: [libreoffice-users] Startup positioning problem with LO 3.5.2.2 [SOLVED in 3.6]
Something in 3.6 has changed and now the opening windows remember their place, even across multiple monitors. THANK YOU, TDF/LO!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Startup positioning problem with LO 3.5.2.2
This is on Ubuntu 10.10 (I haven't upgraded yet) running GNOME 2.32 and the NVIDIA graphics driver. The splash screen always comes up on the correct monitor (whichever one the mouse is in), but the writer window does not ever open on the right screen no matter where the mouse is. LO 3.4 (and I believe earlier revisions of 3.5 - .0 and .1, I think) always remembered where the last writer window was closed and reopened there. Note: This was not happening with LO 3.4 on the same OS. Thanks. On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 2:19 AM, Tom Davies tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: Hi :) Isn't this set in the OS somewhere?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Startup positioning problem with LO 3.5.2.2
Hi :) I tend to find most things open on the monitor i happen to be using when i try to open the thing. A few things almost always go to the primary monitor. I don't know if there is a script or something in LO's User Profile that decides where to open things? It would be interesting to know Apols and regards from Tom :) --- On Thu, 17/5/12, MR ZenWiz mrzen...@gmail.com wrote: From: MR ZenWiz mrzen...@gmail.com Subject: [libreoffice-users] Startup positioning problem with LO 3.5.2.2 To: users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Thursday, 17 May, 2012, 5:08 I recently upgraded to LO 3.5.2.2 and I'm mostly quite pleased with it, especially the way it now opens the My Templates folder when I want to do a new file from a template (this disappeared in 3.3 or 3.4, where it just opened the templates without opening a specific folder, but I digress). However, I have noticed an interesting quirk that set in right away. I use LO at work to edit documents that I intend to use personally (since our official document processor is - I can't say it, but everyone knows what the default is...). I have the good fortune to have two 24 HD monitors side by side, and I tend to use the right one for such efforts. This makes my monitor size 3840x1080, and I use most of that real estate all the time. However, since 3.5.2.2, even though I move every document I open to the right edge of the right screen (1920-3839, but more than half way across the second 1920 pixels of screen), new ones ALWAYS open on the left screen (0-1919). This did not happen in 3.4, and I believe it didn't happen in 3.5.1, but I wouldn't swear to it. I would really really really prefer that LO could remember where it was when the last window was closed and reopen there, the way it used to do. Any clues? Thanks!
