            Bug ID: 119813
           Summary: FILEOPEN CSV import dialog doesn't get focus if
                    libreoffice is already running [Ubuntu 18.04, 16.04]
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.3.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: jesse.mcnichol at pobox.com

Description:
When opening .csv or .tsv files while another Libreoffice Calc spreadsheet is
open, Libreoffice puts the dialog box out of focus. The user has to alt-tab
into just to find the dialog box in order to open said file. This greatly
reduces the functionality of Libreoffice calc for users who frequently work
with plain text files.

I can confirm that issue was present in Ubuntu 16.04 and remains in 18.04.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a libreoffice window or spreadsheet
2. Open a csv or tsv file from the file explorer
3. Note that you now have to alt-tab into a libreoffice window just to find the
dialog box.

Actual Results:
One can access the dialog box, but it requires a lot of extra thinking and
work.

Expected Results:
It should have brought the dialog to the front to allow for user input


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
