Description Mark Simon 2017-03-19 01:29:33 UTC 
Description:
I believe this is since MacOS 10.12 Sierra introduced merged windows, the ability to merge separate windows into tabs of a single window.

I now find that all dialog boxes are merged in this fashion, even a simple one such as renaming a work sheet.

Not only is this annoying, the resulting window has a tab bar which obscures part of the top of the original window, such as the first toolbar.

Steps to Reproduce:
For example

1. Double-click on worksheet tab to rename
2. The rename dialog fills a whole tab in the main window.


Actual Results:  
As mentioned, the dialog is not a separate dialog box, but a full tab in the same window.

Expected Results:
A normal dialog box.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
It is possible to undock the tab by pulling it off the tab bar. The resulting window is over-sized, but otherwise a floating dialog box which can be resized.

This indicates that all windows in LO are somehow triggering this new feature in MacOS.

The Window menu does not contain the Merge Windows item, so it cannot be turned off. I cannot find any mention of it in the Prefrences.
