Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 19425
Window manager's auto/click raise policy not followed
Last modified: 2010-11-11 03:36:12 UTC
If Navigator/Presentation window is on then moving mouse over the document window will auto raise it (and Navigator window) even if wm's raise policy is set to click raise. This makes it challenging to select stuff from Navigator window if you have more than one OO window open on your desktop and the Navigator window is located outside of the document window it controls. If your mouse touches or goes over an other OO window while on its way to the Navigator window, the other OO window is auto raised which makes the Navigator window disappear. Running Debian Linux unstable/testing, X 4.2.1.1 and KDE 3.1.3.
SBA: Component changed to "Framework" (as it affects all applications). Reassigned to Thorsten
TM->mannisto: Please check if problem still occurs in a more recent buil like 1.1 or 680m28 on a stable system. Thanks !
The same thing still happens when running 680m30 on KDE (XFree 4.2.1.1 and KDE 3.2.1). I also tested it with twm window manager, otherwise same result but now those small windows (like Navigator) reset their position inside the document window they are controlling. I'll include about 0.5 MB avi screen capture movie that shows what is going on. BTW, what do you mean testing it on a stable system? (In Debian lingo unstable/testing means pretty much a stable system ;-)

hmmm, works fine here on Solaris using Gnome... I will test this on Linux later...
Hi mannisto, I tried to reproduce your problem on SuSE9.0 using OOo1.1.2RC combined with KDE3.2.x and Icewm... I didn't get the described result... The windows raised by clicking and not by "moving over"...
set to worksforme...
I tried this again on SuSE9.1 using OOo1.1.1 and the effect you described didn't appear... I'm closing this Issue now... Feel free to reopen this Issue if more information is available( so we can reproduce this behaviour)...
