Bug ID: 169918
Summary: VCL examples windows go to background when started
from command line
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: sdk
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When running VCL examples from command line, they go to background and do not
take focus. As they don't show any menus on top, smaller windows can easily get
lost.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build LibreOffice from sources
2. Run a VCL example, for example:
./bin/run minvcl
Or, the one with smaller window:
./bin/run mingled
Actual Results:
A window is created, but you may not find it as it can remain in the
background. As the window does not show any menus on top, it may even get lost
if it is small. One may think that no window is created.
Expected Results:
Window should get focus, and become visible by coming on the top.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
This is a known macOS specific behavior, that can be customized/solved if a
.app is created for the binaries.
The problem also happens for LibreOffice. If it is executed as below, its main
window remains in the back:
% /Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice
If compiled from sources:
% ./instdir/LibreOfficeDev.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice
In comparison, using "open" with defined apps works just fine.
% open /Applications/LibreOffice.app
If compiled from sources:
% open instdir/LibreOfficeDev.app
Or, by name:
% open LibreOffice
If compiled from sources:
% open -a LibreOfficeDev
