This bug is still present in Libre Office 4.0.0.3 (tested on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit fully updated; LO 4.0.0.3 deb files downloaded from the Libre Office website and installed using dpkg).
I can elaborate on the original bug report: 1) It affects not only the Styles dialogue, but also the Navigator dialogue. 2) It happens not only with Paste Special, but also other actions such as F7 (spell check) or adding an image. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/999269 Title: [Upstream] Writer cursor focus on "paste special"goes to Styles and Formatting window Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Unknown Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (64 bit) libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.5.3-0ubuntu1 With the "Styles and Formatting" dialog open as a separate window, when I do a "Paste Special" into the current document, immediately after the paste, cursor focus goes to the "Styles and Formatting" window, instead of remaining in the document.
