As a workaround you can use alt+tab during drag and drop.

Title:
  libreoffice is not able to drag and drop on unity desktop

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Refering to

  https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Inserting_Graphics_From_Draw_or_Impress

  one of LibreOffice functionalities is to drag and drop graphics into
  Writer as described in the document:

  
      Open the document where you want to insert the object.
      Open the Draw or Impress document containing the object that you want to copy.
      Hold down Ctrl and click and hold the object for a moment.
      Drag to the document where you want to insert the object.

  
  Unfortunately this is not possible on the unity desktop., because the unity side panel is not reacting on the mouse to switch to Writer.

  Sure, there are other ways to copy, but anyway there is a broken
  functionality. May be it makes sense to have this in focus for the
  next development round for saucy.
