Package: serious
Version: 1.90-1
Severity: important
This is a regression in the recent version. Previously, it behave fine,
just like any other x-terminal-emulator. Now crazy things happen:
- when you have an already open Terminator
- and you run Terminator again
Then:
- the new window appears for a split-second
- suddenly the OLD window gets focus and is raised by the WM
- the new window gets explicitly into background (but only when created
on the same WM workspace, otherwise it gets into foreground as
expected but then the workspace is changed so you don't see it
anyway)
- sometimes (apparently when another Gtk application like HexChat is
started in the meantime and a modal dialog has been shown there once)
this behavior disappears for short time but after some steps it gets
back.
I am reporting this as serious because it affects the visible behavior
of the whole system - ie. it steals user's view fn the current workspace
in my WM (IceWM), workspaces jump around, user has to figure out where
he was before again and this is harder to identify because on the old
workspace, there is now a new window covering the contents of your
previous application. And DRIVES ME CRAZY.
Regards,
Eduard.
