I am using a LibreOffice with a Linux KDE distribution (e.g. OpenSUSE), so I have the package libreoffice-qt5 installed. If I add to writer document a Form->Picture Content Control and than I "Click" on the rectangle for insert a picture then "kde-style" file manager cannot contro the the mouse. I have to use the keyboard tab control and arrow for the selection of the image. Workaround: remove libreoffice-qt package and install libreoffice-gtk3 package but file manager as gtk style.
I can reproduce: 1) start Writer with kf5 VCL plugin 2) in menu: "Form" -> "Content Controls" -> "Picture" 3) click on the inserted frame Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 81726f5af5fda25f0d92ffc8458d7f24eb16f408 CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 6.1; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Problem present also in Version: 7.6.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 60(Build:2) CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.14; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: it-CH (it_IT.UTF-8); UI: it-IT Calc: threaded Note for OpenSUSE 15.4. If I select kde login with Wayland and not X11, when I click the first time on the image file (and nothing is happening) and then re-click on the image to insert in the picture content control, the "focus" of the cursor is right but the image is putting in an other place on the document, similar to using the function "insert picture" in the document and not inside of the picture content control form.
Note for OpenSUSE 15.4 If I do the login with IceWM DM, the functionality of the picture content control is right
When I set environment variable SAL_NO_MOUSEGRABS=1 in a KDE Plasma X11 session, the mouse can be used in the file dialog. (Setting that environment variable shouldn't be necessary, but might be helpful as a workaround at least.)
