If I've already got LibreOffice open on another workspace and I double-click a .csv file to open it in Calc, it appears to do nothing. However, if I go to the workspace where LibreOffice currently is open, the import dialogue is there ready to go. Really, this dialogue should open on the same workspace where the .csv file is double-clicked.
Not reproduced. CSV import dialog opens in the workspace with no LibO yet open. Which Linux distro and DE are you using? Which LibO version? Set to NEEDINFO. Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information. Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit Version: 5.0.2.2 Build ID: 00m0(Build:2) Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8)
I'm using Linux Mint 17.2 with LibreOffice 4.4.3.2 (the latest for Mint). I'm assuming DE is Desktop Environment. I'm using Cinnamon 2.6.13. I checked again and it definitely is happening with this combination of software.
Ok, I don't have Mint on anything at the moment (I could use a VM). Maybe you can try with LibreOffice 5 to confirm it still behaves that way. If 5 is not available in Mint yet, you can use this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa Cinnamon 2.8 was released recently btw.
I *did* notice later, that when double clicking in one workspace to open a file (not csv), it opened in the second workspace with the originally opened LibO.
Thanks for the suggestion about LibreOffice 5. I don't usually install software this way and I'm struggling to work out how to tell it to install v5. I've followed the instructions on adding the ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-5-0 PPA but now it's there I don't know how to specifically search for and install v5. I do "apt-cache search libreoffice" and get loads back but without version numbers. there doesn't appear to be a libreoffice-5-0 or anything like that. Can you give me some pointers please? Thanks!

Thanks! I think if you just apt-get update and then apt-get dist-upgrade it should update your 4.4 to 5.
Thanks but I'm afraid it didn't! It did a slightly worrying number of updates (considering that my software update app didn't think there was anything to install!) but when I start LibreOffice it's still v4.4.3.2.
Oh, and actually that was when I ran libreoffice from the command line. When I use the start menu, I now get a fatal error! "The application cannot be started. User installation could not be completed." That's not good. :-(
Yeah this isn't good. I've now completely removed and reinstalled LibreOffice and restarted my machine and it no longer starts, even from the command line. It just now gives that same message every time: "The application cannot be started. User installation could not be completed."
Still not quite right but http://askubuntu.com/questions/613941/need-help-installing-libreoffice-4-4-on-ubuntu-15-04 helped. I can now start LibreOffice but it doesn't look like it did before. It now looks like an Ubuntu version rather than a Mint version. And although the repository is definitely there, it still installs v4.4.3.2.
Ah, it was because of the pinning! http://www.webupd8.org/2015/08/install-libreoffice-50-in-ubuntu-or.html Linux Mint 17.2 only: LibreOffice is pinned in Linux Mint 17.2 and can't be upgraded by using a PPA. To be able to update LibreOffice to version 5.0 via PPA, you need to create a file called "libreoffice-libreoffice-5-0.pref" under /etc/apt/preferences.d/ - to do this automatically, use the following command: gksu gedit /etc/apt/preferences.d/libreoffice-libreoffice-5-0.pref and in this file, paste this: Package: * Pin: release o=LP-PPA-libreoffice-libreoffice-5-0 Pin-Priority: 701
Thanks, that worked. That's a relief! Unfortunately, this doesn't fix the issue I'm having. :(

I don't really have time to try installing the old version, but I can report that (possibly due to an update in my OS, Linux Mint) when I repeat the process I originally described, the dialogue opens on my current workspace.
