Preface: I am filing this bug against 3.5.4 (actually reported as 3.5.4.2 in my program) that shipped with Linux Debian 7 (Wheezy) stable. But I believe this behavior is there all the way to version 4.x. I am using xfce desktop, but this problem is also there with GNOME 2.x. Try it if other window managers and desktops (including Windows) also have the same problem. When I switch from one window to a LibreOffice window that has its "Styles and Formatting" popup window showing, I can click the window icon from the xfce taskbar and expect the main LibreOffice window (say, a writer document) to be activated and focused on. Instead, the focus will go to the "Styles and Formatting" popup window. This is an annoying feature because I would not expect the focus to go there. I want the focus go directly to the main writer/spreadsheet window. That is, unless I was focusing on the "Styles and Formatting" popup window before moving away from that document. Sorry if this is not clear enough. If you want clarification, please help me by asking some questions. Wirawan
Hi Wirawan, thanks for the report. I set this to new, because I do see it myself too (now and then?) Best, Cor
