Description kocjs 2024-05-04 12:47:05 UTC 
In my documents i have several hyper links that link to sections in other documents. If a document with a link to a section is closed, and I ctrl click the link, the document opens and jumps me to the section.

If a document with a link to a section is opened, and I ctrl click the link, the document remains in background, and only the cursor jumps to the section. That means that i have to switch manually to the document.

IF i click i link i would expect it to bring me to the target. Also, this was working before, i have build my document structure taking advantage of this principle. Unfurtunatelly, i do not know when the regression happened.

I am on debian 12, Bookworm with the default gnome desktop on wayland. Libreoffice 24.2.3 is from backports.

However i have tried with the appimage both fresh and still, the behavior is the same. 

Before filling this bug i have asked in this forum https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=111494. The same appears to happen with LO 24.2 on xubuntu 24.04. However on windows it works as expected according to the participants in the forum.

Please consider fixing this regression,
