Bug#694982: libreoffice: automatically raises windows upon receiving focus
Package: libreoffice
Version: 1:4.0.2~rc1-1
Followup-For: Bug #694982
This bug still exists in the current 4.0 from experimental. There is an
option to disable mouse positioning at: Options -> LibreOffice -> View
-> Mouse -> Mouse positioning. This option does not work.
Looking through the LibreOffice source, there's a ton of weird input and
focus manipulation happening in vcl/unx/generic/window/salframe.cxx.
The comments indicate that much of that code is *designed* to break
window manager focus handling - features like focus follows mouse are
mentioned explicitly. Seems like quite a bit of effort went into making
this reliably break window managers - I doubt it'll ever be fixed.
