--- Comment #18 from Christian Lehmann <christianw_lehmann at arcor.de> ---
Kubuntu 18.04, LO 6.3.2.2.
I now have reproduced the thorough investigation first started by Shad. The
results confirm his observations: The size and placement of the window of an LO
component in which a file is displayed upon opening it depends on the opening
method:

1) If you first open the LO Start Center and click on one of the file icons
shown, the file is displayed in the Start Center window, ignoring the
coordinates that the window of this file had last time. And the coordinates of
the Start Center window are always preserved.

2) There are (at least) two ways of foregoing the Start Center:
a) Either use the File > Open (recent document) menu
b) or double click, in your file manager (Dolphin my case) on the particular
file.

Opening a file in either of these latter ways displays it with the window
coordinates it had when last saved. There is, however, one exception: If, while
using method #2b, the Start Center is open, then the result is as for #1.

All of this is inconsistent and confusing. I concur with the other bug
reporters on the request that each LO component should remember, for each of
the files recently opened in it, the coordinates of each window that the file
was displayed in; and this regardless of the way that the user opened the file.
As long as this is not fixed, the advice for the user is to not use the LO
Start Center.
