            Bug ID: 136692
           Summary: EDITING: Headings in Navigator never collapse
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: christianw_lehmann at arcor.de

Description:
I put the text cursor in some chapter of a hierarchically structured document.
Then the respective heading in the Navigator bar unfolds, and the heading of
the subsection that the cursor is in is highlighted. Nice new feature in
version 7!

However, it never collapses again. When I move my text cursor through the
document, all of the headings of the sections touched expand and remain
expanded. At the end, the headings hierarchy in Navigator occupies a vertical
space of several screens, to be scrolled. Cumbersome instead of helpful.

Suggestion:
- Conserve the automatic expand function.
- If the user clicks on a heading in the Navigator, it means he wants to keep
it visible.
- If he does not, the chapter collapses as soon as the text cursor leaves it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open hierarchically structured document and Navigator bar (F5).
2. Place the text cursor in any subsection.
3. Heading of that section unfolds in the Navigator.
4. Move the cursor to a different (main) chapter.

Actual Results:
Former chapter remains expanded in Navigator.

Expected Results:
The previous chapter heading should collapse again unless user signals he wants
to leave it open.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Generally, it suffices that the user can see, in the Navigator, the
hierarchical structure of the chapter he is currently editing. Therefore,
default behavior should be that all sections outside the present chapters are
collapsed (to the main chapter level) in the Navigator.

However, the user does wish to see, simultaneously, the hierarchical structure
of a different chapter if he plans to move up or down ("promote" or "demote")
the current chapter into the other one. In this case (and certainly in other
situations), he may tell LO Writer that he wishes to keep the heading expanded
by clicking on it in the Navigator.
