Description Alex Thurgood 2011-08-26 05:54:04 UTC

While testing the daily builds from master on Mac OSX, I have noticed
that when the app is started the main app window no longer gets
foreground focus and is displayed behind other windows already open on
the desktop.

The problem is apparent all the way back to at least the build of 27/06
in the builds from :

Index of /daily/Mac_OSX_10.6.0_gcc-4.0.1_x86/master

but unfortunately I don't have anything older than that to test when it
first appeared and the daily build server holds less than a month's
worth of disk images.

Just to compare with 3.3.4 and 3.4.2, both launch with foreground focus
even if other windows had focus on the desktop, so it is a
regression to current production behaviour.

Alex, are you able to move the application into foreground by clicking on the app window or app window border? Or is the application completely unusable?

Comment 2 Alex Thurgood 2011-08-29 06:01:25 UTC

Hi Petr,

Oh the app can be used no problem once the main window is manually given focus by the user, e.g. by clicking on it (assuming you can see it behind the other windows) or by bringing it to the foreground with the Mac app switch focus keys (Cmd-Tab).

Hi Alex,

thanks for info. I have listed the bug in the LO-3.5 most annoying bugs to get attention of developers.

I agree that it is pretty annoying. Well, the workaround is easy, so it is not a blocker => lovering the severity a bit.

Comment 4 Alex Thurgood 2011-09-28 08:30:15 UTC

This is now fixed, at least, it apprently is in build :

LibO-dev 3.5.0 
Build ID: 6058133-1b94742-3dca5fd-7252360

Closing
