Confirmed for me on Linux. Reading the wordcount patch I suspect it may be some
re-use of the:

 void ViewShell::SetCareWin( Window* pNew )

use / concept - at least Notes uses that too; as does the red-line merge/accept
changes dialog, as does the insert footnote dialog etc. Quite why Notes would
want to do that, I don't know. Sadly the commenting:

sw/inc/viewsh.hxx:    static Window*          pCareWindow;    // Avoid this
window.

is not so lucid; needs a bit of code reading to try to work out what is going
on. I suppose the idea is to have only one window that you need to 'care' about
up at once ;-)
