--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
No, when the Start Center is opened focus is onto the Main menu--not into the
backing window for either Template or Recent Documents thumbnail views.
Likewise on return from closeout of the last open document.

"On mouse over" behavior is a distinct UI action from "Selection" cross
platform and is correct on the UI of the Start Center.

For keyboard navigation, on open or following an <F10>, <F6> will cycle into
the thumbnail view backing window and then cursor movements will make
selections--the same behavior on UI Menus and TBs.

Making an "on mouse over" document selection from the SC thumbnail views would
then be at odds with UI behavior on Menus and Toolbars and anywhere else we
have preselection highlights.

If alternative representation(s) of the thumbnail views, bug 95739 and dupes,
ever happen the current on mouse over would be expected. 

The UI representation of the Most Recently Used (MRU) menu list with thumbnail
views on the SC backing window was a GSOC 2013 project modeled on LibreOffice
work for the Template manager UI both implemented with behavior of TB and
menus, The SC thumbnail views went in for 4.2.0 release.
