Bug ID: 148104
Summary: Floating search bar window textentry widget does not
grab focus when using the Ctrl+F shortcut under
Xorg/X11
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]

A variant of bug #104368 resurfaces.
This is the behavior I see when hitting `Ctrl+F` in LibreOffice Writer 7.2.5.2
in Fedora 35, GTK3 version, under X11 GNOME (but not under Wayland where, it
seems, it's impossible to get a floating searchbar, it always gets shown
embedded in/below the toolbar?):
If the search toolbar is "undocked" when you hit Ctrl+F, you can never focus
its text entry widget, even if you hit Ctrl+F twice. It only works if that
searchbar is docked into the toolbar, and you can't move that floating
searchbar window around.
This happens both in "Standard toolbar" and "Tabbed" UI modes. I haven't tried
the other modes, but I suppose they might behave similarly.
This sounds like a pain in the butt to manage & test, so maybe you folks will
decide that it's better for reliability/technical simplicity to kill the
floating aspect of that searchbar entirely and always use it as a docked
fashion (or with an GtkRevealer underneath the toolbar), like what seems to be
the case in the Wayland version?
