OpenOffice's maximize button makes it disappear

I quite often need to have 2 windows open at the same time, especially with a document writer like LibreOffice. Lately, whenever I try to do that, it completely makes LibreOffice disappear. It is still open but I can't see it on my screen and have to use Cairo-dock or something to get it to be visible once again. To reiterate, I am just trying to get LibreOffice to go to half screen and whenever I hit the Maximize button all it does is make LibreOffice disappear. I am currently running Ubuntu 16.04.

  • Your title refers to OpenOffice, but then your question text mentions LibreOffice (a different office suite; initially a fork of OpenOffice but now very different). Do you mean OpenOffice or LibreOffice ?
