On Mac OS X, Cmd-H is the system-wide shortcut for hiding the front application. LibreOffice interferes with this standard behaviour. Cmd-H opens LibreOffice Help instead of hiding LibreOffice. This disruptive mapping of Cmd-H is redundant, since there is already F1 for opening LibreOffice Help. Solution: For the Mac OS X build, Cmd-H should be disabled. Interim solution: You can manually add your own LibreOffice.app shortcut in System Preferences.app → Keyboard → Shortcuts → App Shortcuts that will set "Hide LibreOffice" to "⌘H" (Cmd-H).
Thanks for submitting your bug report and helping to improve LibreOffice. It may save time to solve bug 92382 at the same time as this one.
Correction – my bad: This only affects LibreOffice when a dialog window has focus, such as the _Character_ window or the _Find & Replace_ window. I am not quite sure what dialog windows are affected. The Mac-UI dialogs such as the _Open_ dialog are not affected. Moste LibreOffice-style dialogs seem to be affected, but the _About_ window is not, and neither is the. The _LibreOffice Help_ window is not affected, either, so when you hit Cmd-H twice, LibreOffice will hide, but when you bring it up again, you find yourself annoyingly in the _LibreOffice Help_ window.

The bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (LibreOffice 5.2.2.3, MacOS 10.12.1). Steps to reproduce: Open any document, open "Find & Replace..." dialog, hit Cmd+H. What should happen: LibreOffice should hide. What happens instead: LibreOffice Help opens. I have also tested LibreOffice 3.3.0. The bug is also present with 3.3, so I am setting the version to "inherited from OOo".

With other LO dialogs in the foreground focus, the behaviour is inconsistent - some react to Cmd-H and hide the application (expected behaviour), others don't react on first activation of Cmd-H, but then on subsequent Cmd-H hide the application (e.g. Numbering and Bullet Format dialog). LO help no longer seems to be called at any time with Cmd-H, so it seems that at least the second part of the title of this bug has gone away.

Retested with steps from comment #4 No longer reproducible. In my test LibreOffice was hidden, no help did open. Tabbing back into LibreOffice brings back the application.
