Bug Description

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (64 bit)
libreoffice-writer:
  Installed: 1:3.5.3-0ubuntu1

With the "Styles and Formatting" dialog open as a separate window, when I do a "Paste Special" into the current document, immediately after the paste, cursor focus goes to the "Styles and Formatting" window, instead of remaining in the document. A recording of this problem may be found at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/999269/+attachment/3161034/+files/focus_prob.ogv .

+ Not reproducible in Xubuntu.

that focus should return to the document.

Mitch Claborn, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport . If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about the status. Thanks in advance.

This bug is still present in Libre Office 4.0.0.3 (tested on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit fully updated; LO 4.0.0.3 deb files downloaded from the Libre Office website and installed using dpkg).

I can elaborate on the original bug report:

1) It affects not only the Styles dialogue, but also the Navigator dialogue.

2) It happens not only with Paste Special, but also other actions such as F7 (spell check) or adding an image.

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System
