Title bar of window does not update properly

[Craig MacEachern]

Binary package hint: libreoffice

When I saved a file in an un-maximized LibreOffice document, the title bar did not update with the new saved title until I hit the maximize button. I recreated this again by starting a new blank document, type some gibberish and saved it as "bug.odt" (all done while un-maximized). Same thing happened: LibreOffice document title bar didn't update with new name of document, bug.odt, until I maximized the application.

I suspect this is the same as this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/658636
Have you tried testing this with any other application which changes its title? Firefox, for example?

[Ákos Maróy (akos-maroy)]

actually, this is true not only for libre office, but to nautilus & other apps as well

[penalvch (penalvch)]

This occurs for me on non-Unity maximized and unmaximized windows of LibreOffice, Firefox, Nautilus, and X-Chat (have not tested any other program).

Opened odp file from Nautilus un-maximised. Titelbar sasys only "LibreOffice 3.3". When maximised, title show the document name even when after back in windowed mode.
Same with Calc.

LibreOffice 3.3.3

tag libreoffice-3.3.3.1, Ubuntu package 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2

11.04 classic on Virtualbox.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[jolo (joop-loep)]

This bug also affects me on Ubuntu 11.10 with LibreOffice 3.4.3.

I also experience this very annoying problem with many applications. For example with "Image viewer", when I go to the next image the title bar still contains the file name of the first opened image. If the window is maximized then the window titles are properly updated.
I also ran xwininfo for a window for which the title bar did not change. xwininfo gives the new (correct) value of the window title.

Come on guys why is there no activity around this bug? We are talking about functionality that you even may expect from a window manager of 15 years ago (or even older).
