Description Andrew Dignan 2023-07-18 18:58:26 UTC
Issue: When moving the cursor over an inactive window's tool bar rectangle (either upper or lower tool bar area of a LibreOffice document) the background window becomes to the top window as if the user had clicked somewhere in that window's viewable area. Moving the cursor over a background window's title bar or other GUI components (main document area, scrollbars etc.) works as expected and does not bring the background window to the foreground.

Expected result: Moving the mouse-over an inactive background window's tool bar should not bring that window to the foreground, as if one had clicked on some part of that window.

LibreOffice Version: 7.5.3.2

Machines experiencing issue: MPB M2 (Apple Silicon), iMac 2017-iMac17,1 and 2021-iMac20,1 (Intel Silicon).

Method of Installation: Both direct download/install and with homebrew.

This issue does not occur in the Windows version as tested on Windows 11 with LibreOffice 7.4.7.2 (x64) so it looks to be something going on with the MacOS GUI subsystem.

(p.s. Thanks for the work the maintainers do on this great great project!)

Thank you for your report, Andrew!

Please update to LibreOffice 7.5.4 as you are likely witnessing bug 152173, fixed in that version.
Please let us know if that's not the case.

(Seinfeld, I think you're after bug 156276, not this one)

Confirmed it was duplicate and upgrade solved the issue per stragu's suggestion. I was probably behind the curve some as I use brew to manage my apps on my machines and sometimes they do not have the latest build.
