It's a window manager thing, not really AOO responsibility.

It is LOO responsibility to properly restore its window size. So that is a

bug.

I don’t get it. I’m using LO with Windows 7. Every time I open LO, it opens in the same window size and position it was in when I closed it the previous session. If there’s a bug in this area, it certainly doesn’t show up on my computer.

That is what it does on my Win7 Home and Professional editions, plus
Linux as well.

It is not a bug. It may be that it took the position and size from your
last use and decided that was part of your preferences and placed into
your user profile.

Well, think of it, if you have a larger, or smaller, monitor than others
and you need to have the pages at 130% to read them correctly [or 75%]
then it would be tedious to always have to resize your pages every time
you open LO.

I prefer it to be a little bit larger than the "default" size. I open
it up on my large monitor and tend to have it full screen height, but a
little over half the screen's width. I would hat to have to resize the
window every time I opened a LO document.

I think it is just another way that LO tried to use your preferred
defaults, whether it is fonts, page size within the window, or the
window size.

I really would miss this "ability" if it was taken from me. It saves me
a whole lot of hassle every time I open a LO document.

​As one of those «really weird»​
​ Linux people, Virgil, I can report that my installation, i e, the Swedish
language edition of LO (4.1.1.2, Build ID : 410m0 (Build:2))​
​ performs precisely as you describe above ; i e, that window size and
position is retained from the preceding session....

Hallo,

I have had some troubles with retaining a correct size window opening i.e.
*.odt files (linux, several versions of OO and LO) since years. I did some
experiments and found, that window size is stored within an *.odt but somehow
interferes with the defaults in
registrymodifications.xcu

Any time I used a command line like

soffice --writer --headless -pt printer file

while having a writer instance running, afterwards all files.odt were opened
in a distorted window.

I tried to correct the parameters in the
registrymodifications.xcu
but it was restored to the wrong settings on a regular scheme by someone else
(probably the writer prog itself).

Unfortunatley, I could not get any information, how registrymodifications.xcu
is handled by the office-suite.

Position the window. Maximize it. Exit. Start LO again. Restore the window. See now?
