Related to this issue: switching with the keyboard to an OOo Document where a floating window is active will display the Document and floating Window, but none of them is active and the keyboard does not seem to work.
Steps to reproduce the issue 1) Launch a Writer document. Open the style Window (F11) or open the navigator (already here, keyboard focus is lost and the user is obliged either to click or <alt+tab> to continue working) 2) Launch a second writer document 3) Press Alt+tab to go to the first instance: no window is active, no keys except system wide keys do anything. The user is obliged to click or alt-tab to regain focus. The above can also be reproduced using the task bar with the mouse rather than Alt+tab. In my opinion, this usability issue, which is an annoyance, deserves more attention than it currently has. The office suite is one of the central applications in modern desktop computing.
