--- Comment #11 from Aldric Degorre <aldo-public at laposte.net> ---
I am also having this bug (KDE Neon 20.04, which is also Ubuntu based).

However, in the search results where I found the link to this issue, I also
found  bug 119815, which looks like a duplicate of this one. Interestingly, the
opener seems to have found the offending commit:
<https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=1092cc0c75f6d2ab649dd31b1db9f0a9f0944355>

Probably worth investigating? (Especially considering that bug 119815 did not
get any non-automatic answer yet... )

Moreover, I would like to point to another unfortunate side effect under KDE
Plasma desktop environment: if the first libreoffice window was already opened
in some other activity*, not only the CSV import dialog will not be focused,
but also it will open in the activity of the first libreoffice window instead
of current activity (expected behavior).

Probably the window manager considers the CSV import dialog as a child window
of the existing window (which it should definitely not be!).

*: activities are a KDE-centric feature comparable to virtual desktops. I did
not try to reproduce the behavior in the case where the first libreoffice
window was opened in the same activity but different virtual desktop yet, but I
expect a similar result (be it with kwin or another window manager).
