--- Comment #20 from Crusader <[email protected]> ---
I would like to share my "discovery" in the hope someone, somewhere knows the
link between opening a saved document (file) from "Recent Documents" and
opening the same saved document (file) using the "Open File" menu in
LibreOffice.  When I open a saved spreadsheet from the "Recent Documents"
group, the highlighted cell doesn't have focus. I have to press the Tab key to
give the highlighted cell focus — the basis of this topic.

Since then, I have learnt that opening the same saved file (spreadsheet) using
the "Open File" menu by clicking on "Open File," going to the correct folder
(and sub, sub, folders as needed), and then clicking on the saved file name to
open the file, results in the spreadsheet being opened with focus.  I have
verified this multiple times using same/different spreadsheets, at different
intervals, by saving/not saving files, etc.

The question I have is: what is it about the "Recent Documents" group that is
"denying" focus to saved files when they are opened?  The same saved files
opened via "Open File" menu have focus.

One thing is clear: opening a saved file (spreadsheet) from "Recent Documents"
group is better (at least for me).  Pressing Tab key is the only step I have to
take to give focus to the highlighted cell.  On the other hand, opening a saved
file via "Open File" menu, while offering focus to highlighted cell, requires
[many] more mouse clicks/key presses — depending on file location — making it
an inefficient route for opening saved files.

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
