1. Have the LibreOffice window open 2. From a terminal, launch `libreoffice7.0 --calc somefile.ods` Notice that Calc doesn't come into foreground. Is this intended? If so, it doesn't quite match the behavior of double-clicking ODS files from file managers. 3. Close the spreadsheet, but keep the LibreOffice window open 4. From the terminal, run `xdg-open somefile.ods` Same result, Calc stays in the background. 5. Repeat step 3 6. From Nemo, double click an ODS file Notice the focus is... somewhere, but neither in the sheet, nor in Nemo? 7. Repeat step 3 8. Double-click an ODS file from Double Commander Same result as after Step 2. I don't know how Double Commander executes the file association; I haven't configured anything specifically, so perhaps xdg-open? Partial screencast at https://youtu.be/z96ffAdFCzU Runnint Linux Mint 20.1. This might be the case with other LO file types, but I haven't tested. It's a common issue when the LO window is open with one file, and the user to open another one - the new file will be opened, but Calc won't receive focus, which is probably not what the user expects.

I can reproduce the same behaviour on my machine running ArchLinux (Gnome). gnome-shell 1:48.5-1 nautilus 48.4.1-1 Version: 25.8.1.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 580(Build:1) CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.12; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.utf8); UI: fr-FR 25.8.1-2 Calc: threaded The behaviour is also observable using Nautilus (Gnome file-manager, also known as Files) only. 1. Open a file spreadsheet.ods double-clicking with Nautilus (if no instance of Libreoffice open, that new window will take the focus, so you will switch from seeing your file in Nautilus, to seeing your newly opened file in Calc) 2. In the Calc window, use File->Close to close only the spreadsheet.ods file and being bring back to the main Libreoffice window 3. Switch back to Nautilus and double-click to open any other file that should open with Calc (using a .odt file for example will not trigger the bug). 4. The focus stays on Nautilus, and you have to manually switch to the Libreoffice window that is now displaying the file you double-clicked on. Switching back to unconfirmed as request in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139876#c1 I stumbled on this bug report after I searched on Gnome side, and found https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/6640. I wonder if that might be what's wrong. Regards,
