Greetings,
I am not sure this is a bug, but it looks suspect.
I am using AOO 4.1.10 A004110m2(Build:9807) Rev. b1cdbd2c1b 2021-04-19
18:17 - Linux i686 on Slackware Linux 14.2 (k4.4.261).
Preparation:
Since I need to insert many field cross-references to a table, I have
the insert-fields-other dialog off to the side of my document. I have
pictures in the document which have caption frames around them.
The annoyance:
If I click on a caption outer frame to adjust it, the insert fields
dialog disappears. When I click on something other than the frame. the
fields dialog box reappears right in front of me, obstructing what I am
working on, which is very annoying. The dialog seems to have reset as if
I just opened it again, meaning the settings I had made before it
disappeared, such as "Insert reference to" - "Category and Number" is
no longer selected and I get "Page" instead of "Category and Number",
which is a further annoyance. It seems that "undo"ing the caption frame
selection results in the same behavior - the fields dialog pops up right
in front of where I am working.
Note that this "feature" does not cause AOO to crash or make me lose
information, it is just an annoyance to me, but since it is unexpected
and unintuitive, it may be a bug.
Note that I have experienced similar insert fields dialog movement in
response to other actions. I do not remember what precipitated those
moves at this time. It seems that the dialog does not remember its last
position and so just pops up in the middle of the screen when it
reappears - Not very well-behaved. Actually, it is not in the exact
center. I is off a bit to the upper left corner. Moving the AOO document
window does not change that, it seems to reappear in a consistent place
on the screen.
Any ideas to stop this behavior?
