--- Comment #8 from Jesse McNichol <jesse.mcnichol at pobox.com> ---
For all of those encountering this baffling and difficult behaviour, there is a
way to resolve this simply! Thank goodness!

I found the instructions in the link below worked for me (pasted below also for
posterity):

https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/56043/make-dialog-windows-get-focus/

I'm using LibreOffice Calc (Version: 4.4.5.2).

I saw that various dialog windows (but not all) mostly did not get focus when
they opened. I needed to alt+tab them or to mouse-click within the dialog
window.

Then I came across an answer which entails setting Tools > Options > View >
Mouse > Mouse positioning to "Dialog center". That works perfectly for me.

But why does it work? Does Mouse positioning to "Dialog center" incorporate a
"click" to make the dialog window active? And shouldn't the default be to have
a dialog window in focus as soon as it opens?
