UI/Window management issue

Post by hla »

Quick info: I'm reporting it now, though it was also present in earlier versions, it might be that I'm using the apps more...

# Window focus stealing

Report: The issue is with switch "out from the application", but only sporadically...

I work in TextMaker, and then click the Windows taskbar to go to another app to continue working
(for instance proofreading my book, fixing text in both the prepared for print PDF and my source text in TextMaker)

and sometimes when I try to type into the other app's window, the TextMaker window returns focus to itself and pulls itself forward, like it still is waiting/has some kind of a lock on caret/mouse input in the system (Windows 11), and then it takes 1-2 clicks on the taskbar to refocus back to the other application.

I've actually been able to "reproduce" it again while typing this by simply copy-pasting bits of text from TextMaker to LO Writer...

It might be related to "tooltips" because sometimes after I switch to the other app I can see some random tooltip, there are various one being displayed (linked to probably where I had my mouse last inside TextMaker window), but just now I got "Current chapter" being displayed on my screen above the LibreOffice Writer window (while this being the exlusive maximized and focused window on my system), and when I click that tooltip, focus gets pulled to the TextMaker application, and it replaces LO on my screen (not what should happen obviously since at that time I want to work in LO).

# Quick Access toolbar save/undo button glitch

Additionally, sometimes (on first launch sometimes) or after a random number of times, when I try to click the Save button on the qucik access toolbar, the "Undo" button (to the right of the Save button) actually highlights as if it had been pressed, and that seems to occur more often also after switching between apps. Try clicking the Save button on the toolbar on some random file, swithcing between apps, you'll be able to reproduce both I presume, just be patient until the issue appears...

Would be nice to be able to hide the quick access toolbar altogether also.

Bought the latest version, loving it thus far, thanks for the colors and themes!

Have you tried using a different mouse? Does anything like this happen in other programs? It almost sounds like the mouse isn't clicking where you think it is clicking.
