Description:
If I have a number of LO documents (whether they’re Writer or Calc documents) then moving the mouse often switches focus on another document. This is without actually clicking on it.

When the focus has magically shifted, then using the keyboard to switch back doesn’t generally work, presumably because LO still thinks the original document has the focus.

Switching to another application and back again focuses on the original document.

Steps to Reproduce:
I cannot reproduce this reliably. A typical sequence is something like this:

1.	Open multiple documents.
2.	Select one document and stare at it for a while.
3.	(Distractedly) move the mouse over another underlapping document.
4.	Wait for a short while and distractedly move the mouse.
5.	Get annoyed that suddenly the other document is brought to the front.

Actual Results:
As above.

Expected Results:
Nothing


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: No
