Bug ID: 164707
Summary: WRITER - Forced desktop switching on macOS when
selecting paragraph style dropdown menu
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.4.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: macOS (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
A very annoying regression in the behaviour of Writer when working on multiple
desktops in macOS.
1) LibreOffice is assigned to a particular desktop/workspace on my macOS system
(e.g. desktop 7 out of 8) - when it is started, by default the StartCenter
opens in this desktop/workspace.
2) Open an existing Writer file from the Finder, in a different desktop, e.g.
desktop 3
3) Click on a paragraph with the left mouse button.
4) Now, click on the arrow of the dropdown paragraph styles menu.
5)The desktop is switched automatically back to the desktop on which LO was
first launched, and the user is left wondering what happened.
6)In my case, as a Base file is usually the default module that I load after
starting LO, I end up being forced back to the database window, and then have
to manually switch back to the desktop on which the Writer document is running
in order to make the style change.
7) The behaviour repeats itself until or unless you are quick enough with the
mouse to scroll down the paragraph style menu to select the style you want.
Alternatively, you can select the displayed entry in that style menu by
clicking in the field and scrolling with the Up/Down keys to choose the style
you want to apply.
Steps to Reproduce:
See steps provided above.
Actual Results:
Clicking on the Paragraph Style dropdown menu arrow forces desktop context
switch to the default desktop to which the LO process is assigned.
Expected Results:
Clicking on the dropdown menu arrow should drop down the paragraph style menu.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
