Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
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

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.
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.
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.
