Description T Dang 2013-02-22 02:14:41 UTC
Problem description: 
When viewing a document in Writer that contains a table in the active view area, there is a problem with switching to OSX Dashboard. After switching to Dashboard (as a separate workspace), user can only remain there until the cursor (mouse) is moved. Once the cursor is moved, OSX switches back to the previously active workspace containing LibreOffice Writer.

Steps to reproduce:
1. In LibreOffice Writer, open a document that has a table visible in the window.
2. Switch to Dashboard (where Dashboard is a separate workspace).
3. Moving the cursor will trigger a switch back from Dashboard to the previously active workspace.

Current behavior:
Can't do anything in Dashboard after switching there from Writer.

Expected behavior:
Should be able to stay in Dashboard and use Dashboard apps until user chooses to switch back to Writer.
              
Operating System: Mac OS X
Version: 4.0.0.3 release

Hi,

Thanks for reporting!

I can reproduce this behavior using Mac OSX 10.8.3 with LibreOffice 4.0.2.2. Therefore I mark this as NEW.

Priority: minor medium. Quite annoying, but doesn't prevent you to make high quality work related to the document itself.

Kind regards,
Joren

Can replicate this with attached test case:

1. Open test case
2. Click inside the top left cell
3. Switch to Dashboard using four swinger swipe
4. Try to interact with Dashboard
 - It's not consistent but you might get snapped back by: Moving cursor, clicking outside widget in the empty space, clicking around in widgets (I used the notes)

I could not replicate this using a multi-monitor setup

But the problem is still there using a single monitor

This is still present, but going out on a limb that this should be wontfix?

Dashboard has been discontinued in Catalina, so there's just one more year of support in a current OS

Per previous post, I close.
