Description Orwel 2016-03-03 15:17:36 UTC
Reproducing:
1. Open an odt file with some numbered paragraphs (or create some inside the document).
2. Open Fields-Cross reference.
   2a. (for further purposes) move the Fields window a little bit (e. g. to the right corner of LibreOffice)
3. Go back (focus) to the document and WRITE some text to the document (Fields window is still visible).
4. Insert a comment (at this point you see the Fields window disappearing to the background)and write something into the comment.
5. Switch the cursor (using the mouse) back to the document.

Expected behaviour:
1. The cursor should go back to the last possition in the document (where the comment was put) and the Fields windows should became visible (or should not even disappear to the background).

Real behaviour:
You get focused on Fields window (which LO furthermore move to the centre of the screen in case 2a) instead of the document itself. So you have to use the mouse one more time to switch to the document again and move the fields window again (in case of 2a).

Hi Orwel,

Please just attach a simple test document for step 1. Always better to just include a simple test case instead of asking others to replicate the document from scratch :)

Marking as NEEDINFO, once attached, set to UNCONFIRMED. Thanks!

Alright:) I just tought it was easier to make this 3 simple steps on a blank document rather than download a new one:) In other cases I always attach the file.

Reproduced.

It is true that no example document is needed. It has to be experienced.

Comment 7 Orwel 2017-05-22 14:13:49 UTC
The bug is still present.
The only change is that the part of comment: "(which LO furthermore move to the centre of the screen in case 2a)" is not valid (the CR-window appears on the same position), but everything else is still present. 
Tested on Win10 64-bit and LO Version: 5.2.7.2 (x64)

Still present in Version: 6.2.6.2 (x64)

Comment 11 Orwel 2021-01-28 09:50:23 UTC
UPDATE: 
Still present in 7.0.4,
The CR-window (see Comment 7) does NOT appear on the same position AGAIN.

You still have to:
1. Move the CR-window (it is focused before the text although you had moved it to the side).
2. Click on the document again(and you loose your last position of the cursor).

Dear Orwel,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
