Description DErik 2023-07-22 15:31:41 UTC
Description:
When I move the mouse across the screen, without pressing any keys or otherwise activating the mouse, just a move across my screen, often times any LibreOffice window the mouse passes over will pop to the top of the screen. It may not be active, but it is now occluding everything it intersects its region with. This happens with the Writer, but may be happening with other products, like Calc and Draw, as well. And it happens about 95% of the time, not all the time, just enough to be very irritating and unpredictable. Perhaps it is speed related, but I have moved the mouse both slowly and very fast across a window, and it still pops to the top. And as I cross over another Writer window, it pops to the top. It seems to happen slightly more frequently (97%) when the mouse crosses over an exposed tool bar button, but it also happens if the mouse simply passes over the edit pane.

Steps to Reproduce:
See description of problem.

Actual Results:
Just pass the mouse over a Writer window, especially any of the tool bar items.

Expected Results:
See description of problem. The result is that it is sometimes quite impossible to edit the window you want because you moved the mouse out of the way to type something and another window pops up so you definitely can't see what you are doing. You have to minimize the other window, which may mean you can't see other information you need to refer to. This kills productive dead.


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
Window should only pop to the top of the display screen when they are clicked on. And if a tool bar or menu button is clicked on when the window is not active, all that should happen is the window pops to the top of the screen display and becomes active. No other action should take place.

Thanks DErik

Please update to the latest version (7.5.5) as that bug is already fixed since version 7.5.4, see bug 152173.
