First, i don't think it's an duplicate of:
no LibreOffice icon in applications bar and/or LibreOffice icons missing from Unity task panel

I am using:

  • Ubuntu [15.04] with Cinnamon[2.8.0]-Desktop
  • LibreOffice [4.4.6.3]

(UPDATE, I upgraded my system to:)

  • Ubuntu [15.10] with Cinnamon[2.8.6]-Desktop
  • LibreOffice [5.0.2.2]

My problem:
When i double-click an *.doc or *.xls (or any other LO-) file (in Nemo[2.8.0] [2.8.6]),
LibreOffice opens and shows up the document, but with no TaskBar-Icon.

However, [ALT-TAB] works and shows up all open (LibreOffice-)Windows!

But:
 When i start LibreOffice via *.desktop shortcut or
via command-line (e.g:libreoffice --calc) the LibreOffice-Icon is displayed/shown in the taskbar.

  • You should probably report those as bugs. http://askubuntu.com/questions/5121/how-do-i-report-a-bug – mikewhatever Dec 04 '15 at 13:15
  • 1. Is the file represented in another icon (or an "iconles" icon), or not *at all* 2. Did you edit or create a `.desktop` file – Jacob Vlijm Dec 04 '15 at 13:18
  • 1. the (document) file has an regular (Word/Excel) icon (from my icon set) 2. LibreOffice created the desktop-file (i made no edits) [i have also no problems when starting LO via command-line] There is absolute NO ICON, when opening the document directly (via DoubleClick) – Ben Dec 04 '15 at 13:20
  • @Ben Ah, I mean in the launcher (/taskbar) – Jacob Vlijm Dec 04 '15 at 13:21
  • I updated my system and LO (see the question), but I still have the same problem. – Ben Dec 10 '15 at 13:04

I had the same problem using kazam software to record but i couldn't find out what was the problem, so i came up with another solution...
I used the 'Hot Corners' to switch between windows...

  1. From taskbar open the 'System Settings'

    enter image description here

  2. Now click on 'Hot Corners' to open the settings

    enter image description here

  3. In here choose one of the Corners and set the event to 'Show all windows' and set the 'Icon visible' and 'Hover enable' to checked.

    enter image description here

Now When you take your cursor to the corner, you'll see all open windows and you can easily switch to each of them.

enter image description here

Example :

    thanks for your support, but as i pointed out: **ALT-TAB works and shows all open (LibreOffice-)Windows**, so your Hot-Corners-Solution is not needed (in my case). – Ben Dec 10 '15 at 12:54
