Bug ID: 162620
Summary: Right-clicking "New Style" in an inactive LibreOffice
Writer window on a secondary monitor opens the "New
Style" menu in the active window on the primary
monitor.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.5.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When multiple LibreOffice Writer windows are open across different monitors,
right-clicking "New Style" in an inactive window (Window B) on a secondary
monitor triggers the "New Style" menu in the currently active window (Window A)
on the primary monitor. This unexpected behavior disrupts workflow by affecting
the wrong document.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open two LibreOffice Writer windows (Window A and Window B).
2. Place Window A on your primary monitor and Window B on a secondary monitor.
3. In Window B, open the "Styles" side menu.
4. Focus back on Window A, making it the active window.
5. Without activating Window B, right-click on "New Style" in Window B.
Actual Results:
The "New Style" menu opens in Window A (the currently active window), not in
Window B where the right-click action was performed.
Expected Results:
The "New Style" menu should open in Window B, the window where the right-click
action was performed.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
* LibreOffice Version:
Version: 24.2.5.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 420(Build:2)

Debian package version: 4:24.2.5-3+b1
