In windows (tested Win XPsp3, clean install LibraOffice 3.5.0r3): 1. Open a LibreOffice document (brand new trivial document). 2. Minimize the document to the task bar. 3. Open the same document again from windows Explorer. 4. User experience is that nothing happens. Expectation: the opened document should "restore" from the task bar - otherwise most any user will think the "open" did not work. Core issue: My original test was with LibreOffice "Writer", but I also confirmed "Calc" and so I suspect this is a core library issue and thus reported it as just LibreOffice, without citing a component. This issue was brought to my attention helping a relatively novice user who repeatedly assumed "the document was broken", when in fact it was simply already open. This seems like an important "real world" issue that likely confuses very many users, especially with open documents "group" stacked on the task bar, and thus important to user acceptance and use of the product. Note: this was originally noted on a Windows 7 system. When I was unable to find any related item in Bugzilla, I downloaded the current release LibraOffice 3.5.0r3 and installed on a few week old fresh Windows XPsp3 build. I found the issue to be 100% reproducible. Please do not hesitate to contact me if someone looking into this does not find it repeatable, and I will be happy to dig deeper.
Thanks for bugreport problem reproduced in 3.3.4 on Fedora KDE and in 3.5.2 on Windows 7 but not reprodced in 3.5.3 on Fedora, may be fixed?
The only quick download for windows I see online at the moment is 3.5.4.2, to which I upgraded from my clean install 3.5.0rc3 on XP SP3. The problem persists for me in 3.5.4.2: 1. Open a LibreOffice document (brand new trivial document). 2. Minimize the document to the task bar. 3. Open the same document again from windows Explorer. 4. User experience is that nothing happens. For steps 1 and 3 I tried both "double click" the "untitled 1.odt" I'd created on the desktop (content just "test" text), and right click "open". Sorry I can't confirm your findings for Windows (XP).
Thanks for additional testing. Therefore for Windows problem remains

I have the latest version of Libre Office. I just want to say that as of 10/22/2014 I am having the same problem with Libre Office Writer. Every time I double click on the Explorer window, to open a document, the Explorer window stays on top. It's a real pain. I hope Libre Office will correct it in the next version. I love Libre Office!!
