Bug ID: 139876
Summary: Launching Calc with file parameter does not bring
window to foreground if LibreOffice window open
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.0.4.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
1. Have the LibreOffice window open
2. From a terminal, launch `libreoffice7.0 --calc somefile.ods`
Notice that Calc doesn't come into foreground. Is this intended? If so, it
doesn't quite match the behavior of double-clicking ODS files from file
managers.
3. Close the spreadsheet, but keep the LibreOffice window open
4. From the terminal, run `xdg-open somefile.ods`
Same result, Calc stays in the background.
5. Repeat step 3
6. From Nemo, double click an ODS file
Notice the focus is... somewhere, but neither in the sheet, nor in Nemo?
7. Repeat step 3
8. Double-click an ODS file from Double Commander
Same result as after Step 2.
I don't know how Double Commander executes the file association; I haven't
configured anything specifically, so perhaps xdg-open?
Partial screencast at https://youtu.be/z96ffAdFCzU
Runnint Linux Mint 20.1. This might be the case with other LO file types, but I
haven't tested. It's a common issue when the LO window is open with one file,
and the user to open another one - the new file will be opened, but Calc won't
receive focus, which is probably not what the user expects.
