Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 22870
OO stays in Background after Start-Up
Last modified: 2004-03-19 10:31:58 UTC
While starting OO by clicking in the Windows Explorer on a file (sxw/sxc), the program (OpenOffice) is starting-up and opening the file correctly. But the opened file and OO itself isn't activated as foreground program. It is not activated (i.e. you have to manually click onto it to activate it).
As long as OpenOffice isn´t still running, clicking on an OOo file in windows explorer will force OO to start in the foreground. But when any other office task is active, the document will open in the background. This is the normal Win-behaviour and can be seen within any other application.
