Files windows close when documents opened within them close
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I am getting strange behavior with Files/nautilus windows. If I open a document—I mostly notice this with LibreOffice documents—within a Files window by double clicking on it, and do some work, and then close that document using a keyboard shortcut the Files window also closes. This is annoying as I am constantly having to open new Files windows and re-navigate to some directory I am working in.
Is window focus somehow being shared between LibreOffice and Files? Why is this happening, and how can I make it stop?
I am using Ubuntu 18.10, Unity, and gdm3.

@CharlesGreen I have set "Close" in LibreOffice to ALT+W.

Interesting - I suppose that is easier to reach than Atl+f4, or Ctrl-Q? How did you set Alt+w to be the close command?

I only tested with alt+f4 and ctrl-Q, neither of which is customizable, apparently. Do you have the same behavior if you use one of those?
