The behavior is deliberate (manage.cpp:~465 "// If a dialog is shown for minimized window, minimize it too") and likely intended to prevent the user from interruptions of minimized windows (the WM cannot decide whether this is spontanous or required) until the user moves focus to this window again.
You will also notice that LOo does not unminimize nor (attempt) to gain focus if you open a *.ods (which does not require a conversion dialog) More interestingly, though the dialog is initially modal for the present window, it opens a new window with the csv (here at least), ie. the transiency and modality seems questionable in the first place. ----- My suggestion would thus be to rather "fix" the "libreoffice" script to either map/raise/activate the mainwindow when opening a new document? Something like if [ -e "$2" ]; then wmctrl -x -a libreoffice fi on the head of /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1369424 Title: LibreOffice windows and dialogs do not receive focus on startup (KDE, Razorqt) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-workspace/+bug/1369424/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
