1. remove LO user profile from /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Libreoffice 2. start Safari, press ctrl ⌘ f to put safari to fullscreen 3. launch LO no LO startcenter confirmed → NEW
This is one of those bugs that just keeps coming back, especially in dev versions.
This now occurs on my LODev master builds that I have installed to /Applications, which uses an existing (LO5) profile, so the buggy behaviour is no longer limited to profile-less installations.

I forgot to add that it occurs also even in normal non-fullscreen mode...

About steve's comment, in the case of a full-screened Safari, it is on a completely separate desktop (also known as "space") even. Of course LibreOffice does not open in that desktop. Other applications don't either. That's what full-screen means; the application is on a desktop of itself.
Anyway, in my own experience whether the Start Centre opens on top or not depends a lot on how I start LibreOffice. If I start it by double-clicking on the .app bundle in Finder (or two-finger-tap and choose "Open"), then it opens on top. Also if I start it from a Spotlight search. But if I start it from a shell command line, either using the "open" command or by running the app bundle's Contents/MacOS/soffice executable, then indeed it does not start on top. But I assume starting from a shell command line is not very common; that is something only developers or QA people do. How does this correspond to your experience?
(In reply to Tor Lillqvist from comment #8) > How does this correspond to your experience? With my current master daily build, if there is another non-fullscreen app window open (e.g. Terminal.app or Firefox.app) I double-click on the LibreOfficeDev.app icon, then it systematically displays behind the other app window and doesn't take the focus.
