Strange cursor focus behavior in Xubuntu 14.04 / LO 4.2.6

#1

I recently installed Xubuntu 14.04 on my home desktop since I have been
using it at work for about 3 weeks and all has gone well there.

However, when I open an encrypted .odt document using the command line or a
shell script, the focus shifts to the password input box for a fraction on
a section and immediately reverts to the starting terminal window.

This is annoying in part because when I type in the password, it shows up
in the terminal window, which is a huge no-no for security, and in part
because I have to manually shift the focus back to the password input
window.

This should not happen - the password window should grab the focus and hold
it until the password is input.

This does not happen if I start LO directly or through a keyboard shortcut
and then enter the file to open.

Whose bug is it - LO pr Xubuntu? I don't know how to tell.

Thanks.

Hi :slight_smile:
Personally i would post in both and give each one a url link to the other
to help the 2 teams see what is going on.

It is less likely to happen in OpenSource but it's still possible to fall
into a scenario where each project blames the other so it's possibly best
to let them argue it out between them. In OpenSource i suspect it's more
likely that both teams would start work on trying to fix it, or to
accommodate for unexpected stuff from the other project leading to one of
the teams trying to fix something that is the other projects fault or that
has already been fixed by the other team. So it's helpful to let both
teams have a link to see what the other team is doing.
