Here just a few issues as a reference why we remove the "focus stealing" in OOo:
issue 62756
issue 49426
issue 19976
There have been some more discussions on several mailing lists, without
repeating it in total the result just was that the best possible implementation
is not to steal the focus at any time and always wait until the OS assigns the
focus. In fact that also fixed a lot of other problems we had in the past.
I hope you can see that there is no simple solution for the problem. How can we
prevent the obviously existing user confusion without destroying e.g. the
feature that the focus is where the mouse is? We thought that the best way is to
always let the OS decide. So IMHO if the current behavior is a bug, it is a bug
of the OS. But I assume that nobody will care about that. ;-)
The best compromise I can imagine is the following:
By default, always grab the focus immediately after the window has been shown,
but never again at any time later. Additionally we need an option to switch that
off and return to the current behavior.
I will try to find a way to discuss that somewhere else to reach a broader
audience. This is not only a UX problem (as it is clear that the current
behavior is unfortunate), it's more a system integration problem.
