Bug ID: 156822
Summary: Prevent CALC from taking focus from another active app
when loading files from the taskbar Jump List
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
If something inspires me to open a CALC file from the taskbar jump list, CALC
then presumes I want all my following data entered into the last active cell in
CALC. Invariably it's a contravention of the cell format.
Apparently writer gets it "write" and leaves focus with the active app.
Thank the gods of perpetual chaos for undo - ensuring it’s never fatal, just
annoying.
Steps to Reproduce:
Have two monitors with the desktop extended over both monitors and the taskbar
active on both monitors.
Ensure the last time you used CALC it was "parked" on the second monitor.
Be active in any other data entry application on the primary monitor.
Mouse-Click any stored calc file from the windows taskbar jump list for Calc.
As you're not a "touch typist" look at the keyboard - not the screen - while
you're typing (often quite critical thoughts) into the application YOU had in
focus before activating the CALC.
Finish the immediate task and then look at the application you're working with.
Eventually identify that everything you thought you had achieved just went into
a Calc cell (or cells) - invariably offending the cell format and associated
data limitations.
Practice using the "undo" rotor.
Go back to the active application and do it all again.
Actual Results:
Data entered into the wrong application
Expected Results:
Data in the right application and CALC waiting patiently for ME to focus IT
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
