Spreadsheet screen location varies each time it's openned

Post by castingman »

AOO 4.1.1, Win 7 Home Premium, x64, SP1 and all current updates.

I have 2 spreadsheets set to open on startup. Just upgraded monitor from 19" 4:3 to 27" 16:9. The spreadsheets were set to open full screen but with the new monitor I have them set to about 2/3 of the width and almost full height with some space on both left and right sides and the bottom.

Problem: The spreadsheets open in seemingly random locations as much as 1" left and up to 0.25" down from their location when last saved and closed. Also, the opening sequence seems random, sometimes 1 then 2 other times 2 then 1.

Questions:
1) Is there some way to "pin" their location so they open in the same spot all the time?
2) Is it possible to have them open minimized to the task bar?
3) Can I set the opening sequence so spreadsheet 2 opens first and then spreadsheet 1?

I know this isn't a major problem and yes, I'm a little fussy! ;) But I would like to know if there are any solutions.

What is resolution of your new screen? There were reports of problems in OpenOffice on resolutions (from memory) in excess of 2560 pixels.
