Description aatt98 2012-10-03 04:48:59 UTC 
ubuntu 12.04, libreOffice applications sometimes fail to register with the system's stack of opened application (revealed by Alt-Tab). 

symptoms are: open libreOffice document(with Writer, or Calculator), then switch to another Linux application (for example, Firefox) by Alt-Tab.

Then, when I try to switch back to the LibreOffice document, its icon is missing from the Alt-Tab scroll seen in the middle of the screen.

I then have to click on the LibreOffice component icon on the navigation bar on the leftside of the screen. It brings back the LibreOffice application but at the same time, opens a new document.

If I switch away from the LibreOffice, the problem happens again.

That's all. This problem has happened before on older ubuntu versions prior to 12.04

Sorry, I marked it as a duplicate by error. It isn't a duplicate.
Sorry for the noise.

@Qubit: I'm sorry I spam these Ubuntu related bugs your direction :-). You mind testing this one too?

Kind regards,
Joren

not reproducible on LO 3.6.6.2 (Ubuntu 12.04 32bit, kernel 3.2.0-43-generic-pae), 
both unity enabled or disabled

perhaps it's happen on ubuntu 12.04 initial release
