[Bug 896608] Re: Libreoffice Writer window not always visible in ALT-TAB switcher

 

I experience the same problem.

I think it is very important one. If you do not have the LibreOffice
icon in the launcher before upgrading, you will not be able to add one.
That's because besides not being visible using alt-tab, the icon does
not appear in the launcher if not executed from there. It is very
annoying. Each time I want to switch to a already open document, I need
to click alt-f2 and choose LibreOffice from execution history. I tried
to google for the way to add an icon to the launcher, but all the
answers say to just execute application, right-click on the icon and
choose "keep in launcher" option .

Title:
  Libreoffice Writer window not always visible in ALT-TAB switcher

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When LibreOffice Writer is started by double-clicking on a .odt file,
  the Writer window is not always visible in the ALT-TAB switcher, while
  the window is clearly visible when pressing Super-W.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Open Nautilus.
  2. Navigate to a directory that contains a .odt file.
  3. Double-click on the .odt file: LibO Writer opens.
  4. Press ALT-TAB to switch to another application.

  Expected behaviour:
  The LibO window is visible when cycling through ALT-TAB.

  Actual behaviour:
  The LibO window is not visible using ALT-TAB but is visible using Super-W.

  Note that this defect does not occur when Writer is started using the
  application icon in the Unity side bar.
