Bug Description

The app switcher doesn't show Libreoffice windows, and alt-tab does not cycle to Libreoffice windows, when you have a document open.

To reproduce:
1) Launch a LibreOffice app like Impress
2) Press + hold alt-tab to open the application switcher. Note that there is an icon for Libreoffice
3) Close any 'untitled' or new document in Libreoffice and open an existing document
4) Repeat step 2 to bring up the app switcher.

Actual results:
There is no Impress icon.

Expected results:
There is an Impress icon in the list of windows in the app switcher

Additionally, tapping alt-tab (without holding down the alt key) to switch to the previous window will skip over Impress windows.

I cannot seem to reproduce this bug with the steps you provided. Can you see if the same steps help you to reproduce the bug on a fresh session i.e. just after login.
