           Summary: LibreOffice should not autoraise its window
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.3.2 release
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: vincent-fdt at vinc17.net


Under some occasions, LibreOffice autoraises one of its document windows.

To reproduce one effect of this bug:
0. One may need to move the ~/.libreoffice directory elsewhere, otherwise the
transient window doesn't necessarily appear and the bug is not reproducible in
this case (see below).
1. Start LibreOffice.
2. Choose Text Document (a document window appears).
3. Put some other window partly above the LibreOffice one, but make sure that
the "Bullets On/Off" button (on the toolbar) is visible (I suppose that the
shortcut key would work too, but I can't use function keys with my keyboard
mapping because they are remapped to accented characters).
4. Click on "Bullets On/Off".

This has the effect to raise the window and a "Bullets and Numbering" transient
window appears. I think that the cause of the raise is this transient window
(there's the same problem with tables and the "Table" transient window).

Second effect of this bug, which occurs with focus-follows-mouse (this is the
default with fvwm, which is the window manager I use):
1. After doing the above steps, open a new LibreOffice window with Ctrl-N.
2. Make sure that the first LibreOffice window (the one with the bullet) is
partly covered.
3. Move the mouse pointer over this first window (without clicking).

This can have the effect to raise this first window to the foreground. This
seems to be always reproducible if the mouse pointer comes from the second
LibreOffice window; otherwise it is not always reproducible (I don't have any
idea of the reason).

Notes about my system: Debian/sid with fvwm 2.5.30 (with the patch that fixes
Debian bug 588537), no desktop environment, libreoffice 1:3.3.2-1 Debian
packages.
