Description kelnage 2008-03-25 17:32:38 UTC 
Steps to re-create:
1. Open both Firefox and Writer
2. Set the window focus to Firefox (doesn't matter how) 
3. Switch to Writer using the application bar at the bottom of the screen

Expected: Writer will have focus and any typing will appear at the last cursor
position on page.

Actual: The focus will jump from Firefox to Writer for a second, but then goes
back to Firefox. Any typing done at this time will appear in the Firefox window,
however, Writer will still be the top-most window.

This appears to happen with many applications in Gnome (tested with Firefox,
Rhythmbox, Nautilus and Evolution) but does not appear to happen when switching
from other OOo applications. This also does not appear to affect the other OOo
applications.

Reassigned to ES.

I cannot reproduce it.
Please detail your distribution and gnome version.
Please also check the focus settings in Gnome.
Confirm that it still happens in a current version:

Ah, I have found it only seems to happen when a floating toolbar, such as the
bullet point toolbar is visible. Apologies - I missed this vital criteria. Shall
also test in 2.3.1 to check it happens there.

@pl: as described.
Comment 5 philipp.lohmann 2010-11-16 14:26:30 UTC 
Reproducible also in DEV300_m92. The fix however breaks issue 93515 again (this
time for toolbars). Still looking for a solution.
