            Bug ID: 133369
           Summary: Preferences/Options window is combined with other app
                    window in macOS
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.4.1 rc
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
When I open the Preferences/Options window in the newest release of LO, it is
treated by macOS as part of the same window as any app window that is already
open (Writer, Calc, or even the LO startup screen). If I drag that main window,
the Options window moves with it, even though it should not. I am still able to
move the Options window independently if I click it and drag it, but I cannot
drag the other app window without also moving the Options window.

I first encountered this problem when I opened the Preferences/Options window
in macOS and moved it to my second screen. The options window disappeared from
view. The only way to get it back was to go to App Exposé, which treated it as
part of one big window with the other LO window that was open. The only way to
get the Options window back was to drag this big window to the screen in such a
way that part of both windows was visible, and then drag the Options window to
a place from which it was visible on the screen.

I don't recall seeing this behaviour in earlier LO versions, but I could be
wrong.

I have created a screenshot which shows how App Exposé treats both LO windows
as one big window. I have also made a screen capture video which shows how both
the main LO window and the Options window are dragged together.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any LibreOffice window
2. Open the Preferences window
3. Click and drag the window opened in step 1.

Actual Results:
Both the main window and the Preferences window are dragged and moved together.

Expected Results:
Only the clicked window should be dragged and moved.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
I am using a 15 inch MBP 2015 connected to an external 4K LG monitor through
Thunderbolt/miniDP.
