Public bug reported:
A small office that just converted to Ubuntu 12.10 is having problems
with opening / finding open LibreOffice documents in Unity. The issue
seems to be that if any arbitrary document is already open in
LibreOffice, on any workspace, then clicking on the file in the file
manager does nothing. The file is not opened in another instance. The
running instance is not brought to the forefront. No error, warning, or
notice is given. Absolutely no feedback is returned to the user, who
might not be aware that another instance is running with the file
already open.
>From conversations on the mailing list it seems that Unity does show a
small symbol next to the LibreOffice icon when the document is clicked.
This went completely unnoticed by the users of Ubuntu and by myself
while trying to actually work with the system. In fact, one user had
resorted to reseting the computer each time she needed to open a
document that "would not open".
Please change the behaviour of Unity to bring the running LibreOffice
instance to the forefront when the user clicks on a document that is
already open.
Thank you.
