[upstream] child window starts unfocused

[arky]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Navigator, Gallery, Taskpane and other lot more windows when undocked child windows start unfocused. You have to press control + shift + tab to bring back focus to these windows, it makes difficult to use with assistive technologies like orca screen reader.

No new OOo releases in Ubuntu => Wont fix
Needs upstream bug reference in LibreOffice => Incomplete

arky, is this an issue for you in LibreOffice? If using Lucid or Maverick feel free to type at the Terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y install libreoffice-writer libreoffice-calc libreoffice-impress
