            Bug ID: 131154
           Summary: Dialog boxes can't be moved when maximized or move the
                    main window
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.1.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: brian at osdinitiatives.com

Description:
Some dialog boxes can not be moved when the main window is maximized. When it's
not maximized, attempting to move the box moved the entire window. I'm not sure
if this is intended behavior or inherent to gtk3(I assume) as I have noticed
this same problem with other programs and their Save As dialog boxes. It is
highly annoying coming from Windows where all these dialog boxes could be moved
to the side to view the text underneath. This is especially needed for the
Character, Paragraph, Page, which have an Apply button. Often the altered text
will be obscured.

Some notable exceptions are Fields and Insert Index Entry. The ability to have
the dialog box to the side and move the cursor in the document made indexing a
book a lot easier then it would have been if I had to constantly open and close
it. Going back and updating entries with Edit Index Entry would have been a lot
easier. Dimming the main window also made the flagged index points harder to
see, particularly when there are index marks that aren’t attached to a whole
word and are just a little gray sliver.


Known windows:
Special Characters
Edit Index Entry
Options - LibreOffice
Print
Character
Paragraph
Page Style
Bookmark
Insert Break
Save As
(I don't know it there is some kind of styling information so all the
'blocking' dialog boxes can be easily searched for)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Writer, new file
2. Add some text
3. Select a word, Insert->Table of Contents and Index->Index Entry...
4. Click Insert
5. Right click on the flagged word, Index Entry...

Actual Results:
Edit Index Entry dialog box is fixed in the center of the (dimmed) main window
and I can't see which index entry I'm editing when using the Previous and Next
arrows.

Expected Results:
Insert Index Entry dialog behavior


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
