Bug ID: 140148
Summary: Some dialogs disappear if the main window loses focus
and this renders LO unusable with some mouse focus
policies
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: dav1dblunk...@hotmail.com
Description:
The find and replace dialogs and the standard filter dialogs (and probably
others) vanish if another main LO window gets focused. This makes life very
hard for some desktop mouse policies (eg focus under mouse / focus follows
mouse).
For instance, I have several windows open including two or more LO windows and
the are not maximised. If I call up one of these dialogues it may appear
somewhere on the screen that does not overlap with my current LO window.
If this occurs I need to move the mouse from the LO window to the dialog to use
it. If the mouse crosses another LO window (which will momentarily get mouse
focus) the dialog disappears.
The way to rectify this is to either maximise the LO window (which is
irritating if you're trying to move information from document to document) or
create a stepping stone trail of non LO windows between the LO window and the
likely location of the dialog box.
It's <really> infuriating.
Steps to Reproduce:
Choose an appropriate mouse focus policy: eg focus follow mouse.
Start two or more LO calc windows, position so that the dialog boxes will
appear not over the current LO window. Call up one of these transient dialogs.
Cross the other LO window with the mouse on the way to the dialog. The dialog
vanishes.
Actual Results:
The dialog vanishes.
Expected Results:
The dialog shouldn't vanish or should somehow remain tethered to the original
LO window
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
no other information - I put linux only but this is really related to window
focus policy so affects all unixs but probably not mac or windows
