Bug#694982: libreoffice: automatically raises windows upon receiving focus

2013-03-23 Thread Ross Vandegrift 
Package: libreoffice
Version: 1:4.0.2~rc1-1
Followup-For: Bug #694982

This bug still exists in the current 4.0 from experimental.  There is an
option to disable mouse positioning at: Options -> LibreOffice -> View
-> Mouse -> Mouse positioning.  This option does not work.

Looking through the LibreOffice source, there's a ton of weird input and
focus manipulation happening in vcl/unx/generic/window/salframe.cxx.
The comments indicate that much of that code is *designed* to break
window manager focus handling - features like focus follows mouse are
mentioned explicitly.  Seems like quite a bit of effort went into making
this reliably break window managers - I doubt it'll ever be fixed.

Bug#694982: libreoffice: automatically raises windows upon receiving focus

2012-12-02 Thread Tom Jones 
Package: libreoffice
Version: 1:3.5.4+dfsg-4
Severity: normal

Libreoffice raises windows on receiving focus.  This makes it pretty much
unusable with a focus-follows-mouse window manager focus policy.  Apparently it
is also problematic in many situations with a click-to-focus policy.  There is
not a good reason for any application to behave like this.  I'm not aware of
other applications that behave like this, though I seem to remember I have
encountered proprietary apps in the past that have done.

Upstream bug reports span almost a decade:
