Bug ID: 155043
Summary: In Gnome Shell, nothing happens when double clicking
to launch a LibreOffice document in Files if the file
is already open
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.2.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When double-clicking a LibreOffice document in Files to launch it, nothing
happens if the file is already open. (Files application remains in front with
the file selected. No notification appears neither is the LO document window
brought to the front).
I filed the issue to Gnome:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/6640#note_1732309 They
closed the issue: "There is no xdg_activation request coming from LibreOffice
(or any Wayland request that matter) when opening the file the second time. So
that's a client side issue."
Steps to Reproduce:
On a Linux Gnome Shell desktop:
1. Open Files
2. Select an existing LibreOffice document (Text file, Writer document, ...).
Hit Enter or double click. The document should open in an LO window.
3. Open another application maximized, for example a browser
4. Switch to Files, double click the same LibreOffice document.
Actual Results:
Nothing happens: the file manager remains in the front, with the file selected.
Nothing else happened, i.e., there was no "Window is ready" notification
(default behavior in Gnome Shell) nor was the open document brought to the
front.
Expected Results:
Apparently, the software should send out a xdg_activation request, after which
the desktop would (in the case of Gnome Desktop) issue a "Window is ready"
notification or (in the case of a more sane default behavior) bring the
document to the front.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
