Created attachment 68161 [details] Python script that listens for window.activate events Writer is not returning a window.activate event when the focus is returned by Alt-Tab. You can see the window.activate events generated with the attached python listener. To reproduce: 1. Open Writer. 2. Alt-Tab away from Writer to another window. 3. Alt-Tab back to Writer. No window.activate event is generated for Writer.
We need to know: What operating system? What version of libreoffice? Has it been tested on a new stable release (preferably version 4)? What real impact does this have on anyone? Marking as NEEDINFO - please answer these questions and then mark as UNCONFIRMED if the problem still exists - if it doesn't mark as WFM. Thanks for your patience, apologies it took so long for someone to respond to your bug report
This is still an issue. I am currently running gnome 3.10 with orca 3.10.1 and libreoffice 4.1.2. I can do the following - locate a writer icon in the gnome dock or elsewhere - activate the icon what happens libre office writer window opens but I am not notified that something has changed giving an impression focus is still on the writer icon in the dock. What is expected writer document window should notify ATK that it has gained the system focus somehow. For example while opening gnome applications like gedit, gnome calculator etc I am correctly notified to the fact they have been launched with a proper focus indication.

Started bisecting this issue and noticed that the issue was the same in version 3.5.0 as it is in the current version. I also noticed that if you open a new document from within LibreOffice the new document will receive the window.activate event, but the first document will continue to not receiving the event. And the issue is not isolated to Writer the issue is just the same if the first document you open is a spreadsheet, drawing, ...

On LibreOffice 5.2 GTK2 the problem still appears. It looks like Orca has created a work around for this issue. I mark the bug as reopened.
Dear all, On Debian Sid with LibreOffice 5.4 I can only reproduce this issue with VCL GTK2, not with GTK3. Best regards.
(In reply to Alex ARNAUD from comment #9) > On Debian Sid with LibreOffice 5.4 I can only reproduce this issue with VCL > GTK2, not with GTK3. > > Best regards. -> Closing as WORKSFORME The gtk2 VCL plugin is no more, and when using the gtk3 VCL plugin, the attached python script prints this when switching either from Writer to Konsole or the other way round, which looks correct: > [application | soffice] > [application | konsole]
