Writer 25.2.7.latest
Windows of open documents (VirtualBox v.m., Linux and XFCE as LO operational environment) - their sizes and positions on screen don’t recover on Writer restart. Writer got closed by means of menu File > Exit, subsequently opened again by means of XFCE Whisker menu. LO got installed using Linux distribution native package management - not sandboxed.
DeepWiKi Devin run on LO-Core codebase points to WorkingSet setting to be controlling this behavior however be set only under special circumstances - my current local setting is not covered. Yet DeepWiKi Devin has apparently access to older LO code base of version older than mine. Devin treats Tools > Settings > LibreOffice > General > Save while my LO has following form:
Tools > Settings > Load/Save > General yet the set of configuration fields in that group is different than what Devin finds in LO source code.
I afraid to have no reason to navigate to github state 25.2.7 because I see the risk that model of underpinning logic may differ as well.
Devin proposes following patch the registrymodifications.xcu level in user profile to workaround my problem:
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Common/Save">
<prop oor:name="WorkingSet" oor:type="xs:boolean" oor:op="fuse">
<value>true</value>
</prop>
</item>
Can someone confirm that
- WorkingSet setting is the proper approach to have windows positions and geometry of open documents recovered on Writer restart
- the presented patch in registrymodifications.xcu be effective as far as LO 25.2.7 is concerned
Any other ways are proper to resolve the lack of windows position and geometry on Writer regular restarts as far as LO 25.2.7 is concerned?
Not only that, furthermore the set of open documents does not get recovered as well. It is a pain to need do the recovery manually every time.
EDIT
Well, newly it turns out it to be the opposite way concerning the LO release the DeepWiKi Devin have access to. It means to have code base of which the version number corresponds to year 2026. Nevertheless, the two implementation states (my LO versus deepwiki Devin’s with LO Core indexed) might deviate from each other.
