Hmm. The screenshot didn't make it. Problem with the listserve?


It's not a problem (OK, maybe it is a problem for you, but not in the 
sense of a fault ;o). The list server is intentionally configured to 
remove attachments, presumably to save their own and everyone else's 
bandwidth and mailbox limits.


You can either upload the screenshot somewhere else and post a link, or 
I gather the "nabble" interface to the list at 
 can upload attachments and 
include a link in a post while you're writing it (I've never used it 
myself, so can't give detailed instructions, but I'm sure someone here 
could if you're stuck).


Mark.

What sort of customizing did you do to the formatting toolbar ?  I've
tried adding a few icons but that didn't result in any failure to get or
retain focus.

Don't think you can add attachments to postings.  You'll need to put the
attachment on a website and then provide a link to it.

The more I thought about it, the more I thought it must be an
addition, extension or some kind of add-on that I always use. Either
that or something in the way I have set up the layout. As for the
latter, I always use the LO window as a regular window (not full
screen), and I have the toolbars floating, usually only formatting
(customized), styles, and Zotero. Just now I tried an experiment. Of
the toolbars, the only one I have customized is the formatting toolbar,
so that was my first suspect. I disabled the formatting toolbar, and
voilà! My Writer window takes the focus as it is supposed to. 

Now to figure out why using a customized formatting toolbar causes this
problem. I suspect a bug, but before I can say for sure it would be
helpful if others here could see if customizing the formatting toolbar
causes the same problem. 

Here is a screenshot:

I've been using UbuntuStudio 1404 with LO 4.2.8.2 (again up to date from
the repository) and I had never noticed this problem.  I have rechecked
each of the points you raise above and in my case, the focus is always
in the LO window just where required.

I basically only use the spreadsheet and writer but for these two
applications, I cannot reproduce any of the symptoms you describe.

Since you have this problem for a long time, could it be down to hardware ?
