Cause: Wrong windowing system flags used on some floating dialogs
Consequence: After switching focus from one document to another while the floating color dialog is open, it becomes impossible to type into the second document unless the floating dialog is close.
Fix: Set the correct window manager decoration flags
Result: Now possible to switch between documents, while the floating dialogs are active, and interact directly with the visible document

I can reproduce it anyway. However these focus problems + various window managers are a tricky business to mess with e.g. add a metacity workaround and kwin falls over, so if this turns out to not be a regression from rhel-6.2 oopenoffice.org I'd be far more comfortable moving it to e.g. a rhel-7 target. Caolan, This is indeed a regression from OOo 3.2 from RHEL 6.2. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/libs-core/commit/?id=46ea2f6cb38536aa1b1a259af2145a581e19f6e8 is the regression itself. What that fixes though is that clicking the color popdowns creates toplevel windows immediately, rather down dropdowns. Old behaviour is pretty awful too, albeit better than current behaviour. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=a482b89e4d9c41b6f7c1616d193ac6cde05a69a7 appears to work to give the full-desired behaviour

Created attachment 573122 [details] Example of focus bug Description of problem: If you expand a preference pane into a window, such as the Background Color one, you can't switch focus to another Calc spreadsheet and input there. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libreoffice-3.4.5.2-5.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Always on RHEL 6 and Fedora 16 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a spreadsheet 2. Create another spreadsheet (Ctrl + n) 3. Expand "Background Color" preference 4. Click and drag Background Color down away from the toolbar to make it a window 5. Select Cell A1 6. Click the Red color in the Background Color window 7. Switch focus to the other spreadsheet 8. Select Cell A1 9. Try to input text Actual results: Input continues to be handled on the spreadsheet which opened the Background Color dialog Expected results: The input should be possible on the other spreadsheet while this dialog is open. Additional info: This applies to the following preference panes: Borders, Background Color, and Font Color This doesn't affect Styles. This doesn't affect interaction with LibreOffice Writer documents See attached screencast as an example of the bug.
