Libreoffice launched but not visible in Launcher

[Samuel Bancal]

Hi,

When I double-click on a LibreOffice Calc document in Nautilus, that document is opened (as expected) but nothing is happening in the Unity's dock (no light left to the Calc icon). If I alt-tab, my Calc window is not mentioned.

When launching LibreOffice Calc from the dock, everything is normal.

I could reproduce this problem with LibreOffice Writer, libreOffice Calc and LibreOffice Impress. (I tried also with gedit, eog, evince without problem).
In my experience, this is not 100% reproducible, but when it happens, it never works again until next unity session.

Ubuntu version : 11.10 (32b)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Could you observe more closely and see what are the conditions the next couple of times you see the issue, a few steps to reproduce the bug would be really helpful for us to solve the problem.

Hi, here are basics steps to reproduce it :

- double-click on a previously created document ( ~/Desktop/test.odt in my case today)
- here we are ...

Today, in one session I get 2/20 attempt failed.
If I restart the session once per test (logout; login), I get 5/5 failed.
