Dear Maintainer,
I am reporting a bug I encountered in LibreOffice Writer. The issue is as
follows:
* Description:
- When multiple LibreOffice Writer windows are open across different
monitors, right-clicking "New Style" in an inactive window (Window B) on a
secondary monitor triggers the "New Style" menu in the currently active
window (Window A) on the primary monitor. This unexpected behavior disrupts
workflow by affecting the wrong document.
* What led up to the situation?
- I was working in LibreOffice Writer with multiple windows open on
different monitors. I attempted to right-click on 'New Style' in a Writer
window that was not the active window.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
- The right-click action was performed on an inactive Writer window.
Instead of showing the context menu in the inactive window where I clicked,
it opened the menu in the currently active window on another monitor.
* What was the outcome of this action?
- The menu appeared in the active window on a different monitor, not in
the window where the right-click action was performed.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
- I expected the context menu to appear in the Writer window where I
right-clicked, even if it was inactive.
* Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open two LibreOffice Writer windows (Window A and Window B).
2. Place Window A on your primary monitor and Window B on a secondary
monitor.
3. In Window B, open the "Styles" side menu.
4. Focus back on Window A, making it the active window.
5. Without activating Window B, right-click on "New Style" in Window B.
