I can see same behavior in 4.2.5.2 and 3.6.7.2 - Ubuntu 12.04 32bit. But I'm not familiar with that function, so I let status UNCONFIRMED Hi, there is a step that I miss to reproduce: - when I do Insert -> Cross-reference, I can't access the document behind, the dialog doesn't allow me to go back to the document. I'm using verion 4.3.0.4 on Ubuntu. Could you shed some light to help to confirm your bug? Thanks - Sophie I confirm that this happens, but I'm only setting this as an enhancement and some UX person can consider, if it should be accepted as NEW. Win 7 64-bit Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: b7d8a58ff2698ffc6e22943f64aa97c5ea253bd9 TinderBox: Win-x86@42, Branch:master, Time: 2014-11-05_00:40:38 Here I have a more detailed description of the procedure. I found that this issue also depends on the exact workflow. 1. Insert an image: Edit → Image → From file… 2. Right-click the image → Description… (or Label) Now we pretend to continue writing the text, and refer to the image in the text. 3. Open the fields dialog: Insert → Cross-Reference 4. Choose type 'Figure', select the figure in the list and click "Insert". 5. Click into the document to focus it. Here I clicked on the image, which makes the dialog hide. It turns out when you directly click into the paragraph, the here described situation does not occur. 6. Then I clicked into the paragraph to continue writing. Current behavior: The Fields dialog shows again and catches focus. Expected behavior: The paragraph in the document window should keep focus.

Problem description: Certain dialogs and toolbars are contextual and hide when a different item is selected. For example when a frame or image is selected, certain the cross-reference dialog is hidden. When clicking into a paragraph to continue writing, these dialogs are shown again and catch focus. The focus should be where the click event happened (document window where text cursor has been placed). Steps to reproduce: 1. Insert an image or frame. 1. Open the fields dialog (menu Insert → Cross-Reference). 2. Select the image or frame: the Fields dialog hides. 3. Click into the paragraph. Current behavior: The Fields dialog shows again and catches focus. Expected behavior: The paragraph in the document window should keep focus. Operating System: Ubuntu Version: 4.0.1.2 release
