Mac OS Ventura beta 13.0 (22A5321d) When opening a second file Libre Office 7.4.0.3 crashes after a few seconds. Tests : first document Writer, second document Writer -> OK first document Writer, second document Calc -> Crashes first document Calc, second document Calc -> Crashes first document Impress, second document Impress -> OK first document Impress, second document Writer -> Crashes first document Impress, second document Calc -> OK first document Draw, second document Writer -> OK first document Draw, second document Calc -> Crashes
Annoyingly, I don't have an ARM machine on which to test beta versions of macOS, so am unable to confirm. Additionally, many (but not all) of the pre-versions of new macOS often receive patches by GA which overcome these early reported issues, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
I can confirm this with macOS 13.0.1, LibreOffice 7.3.2.2 on both Intel and Arm machines (iMac 2019 Intel and MacBook Air 2020 M1). Also LibreOffice 7.4.3 Intel and Arm. 1) New Writer document 2) New Writer document 3) Switch to first document using Command+~ Note that the second (switched-from) document still has the window widgets (close, minimize, zoom) active, while the switched-to document has these inactive. 4) After a few seconds LibreOffice stops responding and must be forced to quit. I do not get a crash in this situation simply by having 2 Writer documents open. 1) New Writer document 2) New Writer document 3) Switch to first document (Untitled 1) using the Window menu On M1, Untitled 1 window comes to the front and window widgets are enabled/disabled properly. No crash On Intel, Untitled 1 window comes to the front briefly then Untitled 2 window comes back to the front. No crash. 1) New Writer document 2) New Writer document 3) Switch to first document (Untitled 1) by clicking in the window Untitled 1 window comes to the front and window widgets are enabled/disabled properly. No crash All the above is the same when creating 2 new Calc documents. I've opened LibreOffice in Safe Mode and the above still occurs.

When the mouse moves over a toolbar icon in a back window the toolbar icon is highlighted and the window moves to the front, but it is not "active" - the editing cursor is not displayed and the window widgets are inactive.
Unable to reproduce: 1. new writer document 1 2. new writer document 2 3. switch from document 2 to 1 All good. However you write "3) Switch to first document using Command+~" but I am not sure what you mean by that. ~ is when I press alt + n. So are you suggesting you change between the two documents by pressing cmd+alt+n? Could you clarify that step? I am unable to produce any crash. Also is the crash happening for you when you switch using your mouse? Do you have any window managers installed on your mac?

I should have written "Cmd + `" (that's the "back tick" key under the esc key). See System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts "Move focus to next window". You may have to use Cmd+` a few times to get the crash. The crash does not happen when using the mouse to switch windows, and does not happen when using the Window menu to switch windows. I don't have any window managers installed.
Please try the latest 7.5 beta - a fix went in recently to bug 148435, which appears to have resolved the switching issue as well.

I managed to find LibreOfficeDev 7.5.0.0.alpha1, 2022-Nov-29. Opening two documents and switching between them using Cmd+` does not crash.
