1. Enable Focus Follows Mouse on Xfce. 2. Open two blank documents and place them side by side on the screen, each taking half of the screen. Let's call the document on the left "L" and and the document on the right "R". 3. Open the sidebar for R. 4. Undock it. 5. Move the undocked sidebar out of the way of R. Because your option is to place it some place over L, do that: place it some place at the leftish screen space of L. 6. Move the cursor back to R, as to continue working. 7. Try to use the undocked sidebar (the one of R) or try to move it back into the screenspace of R. Expected behavior: To be able to use it and bring it back. Results: As soon as the mouse touches L, the undocked sidebar of R disappears. R becomes unusable until control is regained over the undocked sidebar. Workaround: put some non-LibO window in the place of L. Now the sidebar doesn't disappear. Although this set up requires a specific placement of document windows, it is not that uncommon on a dual-monitor setup. It is typical to have one document maximized on one monitor and another document maximized on the other monitor.
Can not reproduce. If the focus accidentally switches to the left LibO (if I go over the default time delay of focus switching), I just move the mouse to the right LibO and the sidebar appears again. What Xfce version are you using? Scientific Linux 7 64-bit, Xfce 4.10. LibreOffice Version: 4.4.1.2 Build ID: 45e2de17089c24a1fa810c8f975a7171ba4cd432 Locale: fi_FI
Just to be sure: yes, you move the mouse to R and it appears again, but can you reach it? It should appear over the screenspace of L, so trying to reach it means it will disappear again as soon as you touch L. Can you click the sidebar? Can you drag it back to the screenspace or R?

Yes. It seems you have the focus delay setup too short.
Yes, focus delay is supposed to be as short as possible in a focus follows mouse setup without raise on click. The point is that docks should not automatically disappear because they are disappearing on focus and becoming unreachable. They should disappear on raise, but this is a job that should be done by the WM, not LibO. This way, if I raise the window, the WM would bring all the related windows to the front as needed and hide only those windows that overlap the window I raised. At the very least, an option should be provided to turn off this incorrect behavior.
@Octavio LibO 5.2.4.2 is out. please retest and tell if issue is still present (then revert status to UNCONFIRMED) or is gone (change it to RESOLVED WORKSFORME) NEEDINFO until then
