@mba: I agree, that the crashing and flickering thing is another issue. But I
won't open a new issue, because I cannot reliably reproduce it. I know no
procedure for reproducing it.


Please consider the following:

If I have two documents side by side, and the stylist of the first document lies
within the first document, then the stylist of the second document inherits the
position, therefore it also lies inside the first document.

If I now move my mouse from the second document over the first document to reach
the stylist of the second document, the second document looses its focus, the
second document gets the focus, and the stylist of the second document
disappears before I can reach it!

This is of course also true for any other application window that lies below the
stylist, e.g. a mozilla: If I move over mozilla to reach the stylist, mozilla
gets the focus and the stylist disappears before I can reach it! With "focus
strictly follows mouse", this also happens, when the stylist is in the middle of
the desktop, because then the desktop gets the focus as every other application 
too.

As you see, this floating/hiding concept is absolutely not waterproof!


But what I see now in OO 2 is, that I can dock the stylist. This was not
possible in OO 1.x, and I never understood why. With this new feature, I can
dock the navigation and stylist to the left of my troubels are gone. This is
what I always wanted to have, no the stylist no more hides my document. I
suggest, that you make te docked floating windows the default, this way, for a
quick hotfix, other users don't run into the same troubles than I did (unless
they tear the window out of the dock). Docking is the default for the gallery
now, so why not for the other floating windows? IMHO a good default is: stylist
on top of navigator, bot to the left of the document.
