------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Feb 28 22:30:42 -0800 2006 ------- I don't understand why openoffice plays with focus at all. It is a window manager policy issue. The comment from mba says that we should cater to the windows user in the linux build of OO. The windows user will be using the default window manager that comes with their "user-friendly" distribution of linux, which will most likely have the appropriate policy decisions made by the window manager, where such decisions belong. Those of us who have used the policy of focus follows mouse, for the past 8 years, do not appreciate one application out of our choice of a dozen used in daily life, playing differently to everything else, and deciding policy that does not belong to it. Please test this with, say, fvwm in "focus follows mouse, does not raise" mode, and see how every single dialog that it opens ends up flickering the focus. Just dragging my mouse over an OO frame with a popup is enough to bring the whole app into the foreground, obscuring what I was working on below it. Other apps that do fiddle on the edges with focus (say, acroread bringing up a small dialog for find) manage to put focus on the temporary dialog without bringing the whole app to the foreground, flickering, or otherwise doing anything else silly with focus or z-order. Just what is OO doing that ends up being so different? Thanks for listening. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
