sam, Thanks for your reply. What you described on your last post is what I understand as a normal case of focus stealing prevention from a well-behaved application. I find it logical and I can reproduce it on my system. So, following your steps (and ignoring step 4 as you said):
1.- Launch GNOME terminal 2.- Launch Epiphany. 3.- The Epiphany window appears on top of GNOME terminal as expected. 4.- Do nothing. 5.- Launch a new instance of Epiphany 6.- select gnome terminal, before epiphany is loaded 7.- epiphany does not steal the focus from gnome terminal. However, that is not what I reported. The point is that Firefox *always* seems to use focus stealing prevention. Using the same steps as before, except for 4 and 6: 1.- Launch GNOME terminal 2.- Launch Firefox. 3.- The Firefox window appears on top of GNOME terminal as expected. 4.- Select GNOME terminal. 5.- Launch a new instance of Firefox 6.- Do nothing. 7.- Firefox does not steal the focus from gnome terminal. <= ??? I would expect that on 7 Firefox gets the focus. I see no point in it using focus stealing prevention, since nothing has been done during the time it has taken it to load. As a comparison, doing exactly the same procedure with Epiphany shows a different behaviour: 1.- Launch GNOME terminal 2.- Launch Epiphany. 3.- The Epiphany window appears on top of GNOME terminal as expected. 4.- Select GNOME terminal. 5.- Launch a new instance of Epiphany 6.- Do nothing. 7.- Epiphany steals the focus and appears on top of GNOME terminal. Note that step 7 is now what in my understanding is the normal behaviour of GNOME applications, which differs from Firefox in this case. Please feel free to correct me if I missed or misunderstood something about this focus stealing issue.
