--- Comment #24 from Bernard Gray <[email protected]> ---
This is _still_ reproducible, almost 4 years on:

Kubuntu 14.04 LTS
LibreOffice 4.3.0.4 from the PPA

Open a libreoffice document, and minimise it, or hide it behind another
focussed (non-libreoffice) application window
Using a file manager (in my case dolphin), or any non-libreoffice application
that will honour file associations (eg email client), open a csv file

The csv import dialog is opened as a child of the existing hidden/minimised
libreoffice window, and it remains hidden/minimised.

The perceived outcome of this for the user is one or more of the following:
* nothing happened, so they try double clicking again (and nothing happens)
* they assume libreoffice has crashed
* further libreoffice launch attempts from non-libreoffice applications fail
because they are being blocked by the hidden dialog, so...
* they assume the computer has crashed, and reboot only to have the same
behaviour occur

None of these outcomes are desirable for a functional user experience.
