Bug ID: 112379
Summary: Opening a document - change of behaviour
Product: QA Tools
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: General
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org

Hi,
I did not see another way to report; I prefer github issue tracker, much
simpler than bugzilla. Please do feel free to push this where it fits best, I
have no idea.
Situation:
When opening an .odt file, it takes a bit before it is opened in libreoffice.
I then get a windows notification focus (on linux, using xfce), but I also see
the status bar that "loading is in progress". This is useless to me because I
only can wait there and watch the progress bar.
The situation is made worse if I click on something else, and then libreoffice
takes away my focus. It's ok to take my focus away, to some extent, IF I can
work at once. But when I see the progress bar, I still can not do anything ...
so this is useless. I should say that I open most .odt documents from the
commandline (terminal; kde konsole).
Anyway, here is what I propose:
- Change the behaviour to re-gain the focus only AFTER the progress bar has
been FINISHED loading completely. The current behaviour makes not a lot of
sense to me. For small documents this is not a big issue but for large excel
files, I think taking away the focus should happen only AFTER the progress bar
has finished, IF the focus is elsewhere. (Some users may like to watch the
progress bar, I have no idea, but I refer ONLY to the situation where I, as the
user, already clicked back on somewhere else.)
I hope it is understandable what I mean with the above.
By the way, do not be distracted if you think this bug report is too critical;
I think that libreoffice is great and the above is a MINOR thing. It could be
better though ... I don't quite understand why watching a progress bar that is
mandatory rather than optional, really improves anything ... I just have an
idle down time here, even if it is small.
