            Bug ID: 139876
           Summary: Launching Calc with file parameter does not bring
                    window to foreground if LibreOffice window open
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: ddascalescu+freedesktop at gmail.com

1. Have the LibreOffice window open
2. From a terminal, launch `libreoffice7.0 --calc somefile.ods`

Notice that Calc doesn't come into foreground. Is this intended? If so, it
doesn't quite match the behavior of double-clicking ODS files from file
managers.

3. Close the spreadsheet, but keep the LibreOffice window open
4. From the terminal, run `xdg-open somefile.ods`

Same result, Calc stays in the background.

5. Repeat step 3
6. From Nemo, double click an ODS file

Notice the focus is... somewhere, but neither in the sheet, nor in Nemo?

7. Repeat step 3
8. Double-click an ODS file from Double Commander

Same result as after Step 2.

I don't know how Double Commander executes the file association; I haven't
configured anything specifically, so perhaps xdg-open?

Runnint Linux Mint 20.1. This might be the case with other LO file types, but I
haven't tested. It's a common issue when the LO window is open with one file,
and the user to open another one - the new file will be opened, but Calc won't
receive focus, which is probably not what the user expects.
