Description Ulrich Windl 2019-03-07 07:18:32 UTC
It is possible to open more than one Writer document, and it is possible to open the document properties for each. But it's not possible to switch between those property windows using Alt+Tab in Windows.
That is: You can switch the Document Window, but the property window does not change. Happens in Windows (10) and Linux.

confirming: as soon as the second property window is open, 
it is not possible to switch to the first property window.

Probably the problem is Windows-only: I could not reproduce with 7.1.4.2 on openSUSE Leap 15.3, but I could reproduce with 7.1.5.2 on Windows 10.

Confirmed
Version: 7.6.1.2 (X86_64)
Build ID: f5defcebd022c5bc36bbb79be232cb6926d8f674
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045

Steps: 
Opened two document windows in LibreOffice and a goggle page.

Opened properties tab for both document windows with different text in description box for reference. 

Alt-tabbed between document window one, document window two and a third page (goggle home page).

Result:
Alt-tabbed function only changes between the last LibreOffice document viewed and any other page that is not LibreOffice. If you looked at document one last you can only alt-tab from that to the google page and back to document one window.

Retried steps with more documents opened (4 document windows with 2 of them having properties tab opened)


Results:
Alt-tab function changes between any LibreOffice document that does not have properties tab open and the last LibreOffice document viewed with properties tab open.
