Description: On macOS, if LibreOffice is not currently focused, and the "updates available" icon, which shows if not running the latest version of LO, in the menu bar, is clicked, the update window does show but LibreOffice doesn't get focus, and stays behind other windows. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch LibreOffice 2. Switch to another app 3. Click the "updates available" icon in the menu bar Actual Results: LibreOffice should come front and grab focus along with the update window showing. Expected Results: The update window shows, but LibreOffice stays where it is and doesn't get focus. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Please note that I didn't select the earliest affected version, simply because I don't have 40 versions on my computer to test.

It's the icon that appears in the menu bar that prompts you to update LibreOffice if you're not on the latest version. It shows in the menu bar on macOS.

Are you still seeing this menubar icon in LO 7.1.5 https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/? The fact that there is no proper update mechanism on macOS is a known annoyance for LO on macOS. Sadly there is no workaround for that problem currently which is tracked as https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74934 I cannot recall seeing a menubar icon. LibreOffice is very slow to announce updates via the app thus I never see that behavior as I am quicker to manually update (which I have to do anyways currently) so would appreciate if you could let us know if this is persisting with recent versions.

I can confirm this happens in Version: 7.3.4.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 728fec16bd5f605073805c3c9e7c4212a0120dc5 CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 12.4; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: es-ES (es_ES.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Setting to new as per comment 7 (second user reporting same problem)

Bizarrely, I see the icon in the macOS menubar when LO is running on a colleagues macMini, but not on my Macbook Pro (in fact, not ever that I can recall). I don't know / haven't bothered to compare configs, to see if there's a particular setting that makes it appear on one machine's desktop, and not on another. Similarly to the OP's report though, the icon doesn't seem to do anything when clicked.
Created attachment 187882 [details] Screenshot The icon shows up on running Help > Check for Updates but clicking on it does not reliably bring the dialog to the front. Sometimes nothing happens, sometimes no icon is shown, otherwise it cannot be dismissed, the dialog goes into the background when moving over an item in the start center showing a tooltip etc. Expected behavior is to just show the icon when updates are available. Clicking on it shows the update dialog and hides the icon. If the updater is run from Help > Check for updates the icon should not be shown.

And the update dialog needs to be always on top (tooltip must not change the z-order).
Last but not least we should improve the icon design.
