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.

Dear Telesto, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.freenode.net/#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

I'm a newby in macOS and don't know what is full screen mode here. I'll just write about my simple experiment: 1. Open Firefox 2. Press LO icon on dock bar 3. LO starts on top Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 706afd3e765e98489a2b43934a259626f9f0be01 CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.15; UI render: default; VCL: osx; Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded possible WFM now?
and if I make FF to fullscreeen (when top menu and dock are hidden) and then move mouse point to end of screeen, then I see the dock, start LO by icon on dock and LO opens on top too (but I saw moving of the screen between different work places)
macOS 10.15.4 LibreOffice 6.4.3.2 Unable to reproduce. LibreOffice behaves as intended. @Telesto: please re-open if I am mistaken.
