I just tried this with two different Linux and LO combinations and got 
the following results.

1. Puppy Tahr Linux and LO 5.3.3.2. I opened a document in Writer and 
then floated a toolbar onto the document. I then opened Puppy's browser, 
Pale Moon. What was interesting is that the LO toolbar remained on top 
of the browser. When I minimized the browser, my LO document came right 
back into focus without a hitch. With my Puppy Linux, an LO floating 
toolbar remains on top of anything else I happen to open, including this 
email that I'm typing using Sylpheed 3.4.3. But, LO always returns in 
focus when I minimize another window.

2. Linux Mint 18 Sarah with Cinnamon desktop environment and LO 5.1.6.2. 
I opened a document in Writer and floated a toolbar onto the document. I 
then opened Mozilla Firefox. The floating LO toolbar did NOT remain on 
top of the browser as it did in Puppy. When I minimized Firefox, LO 
popped back up in focus without any misbehavior.
