Description Cor Nouws 2014-12-17 16:33:45 UTC 
How to reproduce:

1. writer document 
2. open dialog Format > Font
3. select third tab
   OK
4. open dialog Format > Paragraph.
   this opens with third tab active
5. select first tab
   OK
6. open dialog Format > Font
   now this opens with _first_ tab active

This behaviour has been introduced with the new UI dialogs, AFAICT.

But slowly it starts to annoy me, especially since I want some dialogs to open always on the first tab (File > Export to PDF for example..)
And repetitive use of some dialogs for certain settings, while touching another in between is less handy too..

What version is this. I see this in the 4-2 series, but its fixed in the 4-3 series. This should have been fixed by the (then master-only for 4-3) commits of bug 75307.

If you still see this with 4-3 let me know.

Indeed OK in 4.3.x
Using various versions together all the time, so didn't notice the improvement. Thanks for the fix!
