Description JO 2011-05-26 15:47:56 UTC

Description of problem:
Font / Highlight palettes have to be closed to prevent them dominating other workspaces.
Erratic behaviour sometimes redirected a double click in an activities pane of another workspace
back to the LibreOffice workspace. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Ver: 3.3.2.2-7.fc15

How reproducible:
Have multiple  workspaces one of which has LibreOffice Writer with opened colour palettes.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open several workspaces, one of which has LibreOffice Writer 
2.Double click on Font / Highlight buttons to get palettes.
3.Move to other workspaces.

  
Actual results:
Palettes behave as "always on top"
Occasional redirects from target workspace back to LibreOffice Workspace


Expected results:
1. No "always on top" colour palettes.
2. No redirects

With gnome-shell of course, I can see it alright. I'd like to blame the window manager for this, though I've no proof.

Comment 2 JO 2011-05-27 15:45:58 UTC

Should also add that if the pointer is moved over the palette while in a non-Writer workspace, that action too will cause a redirect to the Writer workspace.

Comment 3 JO 2011-05-29 11:02:12 UTC

Two consecutive mouse sweeps over the font colour palette in quick succession are needed to cause the redirect.

Comment 4 JO 2011-05-30 13:44:54 UTC

.. or simply holding the pointer over the close cross of the palette for a few seconds.
To move to another workspace from Writer needs a double click on the activities button rather than the usual flick of the pointer into that corner.
The description of the colour selected in the banner at the bottom of the palette only displays if the mouse click is held down on a colour rather than being permanently displayed - an issue with highlighting too.

Comment 5 JO 2011-06-06 11:40:47 UTC

The font colour palette may also get completely detached from Writer into another workspace that might not contain anything of Libreoffice and in this case it is not "always on top". It is just as well more font palettes can be opened.
