Public bug reported: I already saw this behaviour during the dapper development phase, but it somehow got fixed with some updates. Now, some days before the dapper release, I've noticed it again.
Basically, after having open a document, opening a new one will cause gedit to remain in the background, whereas it would be expected that gedit gets the focus and is brought to the foreground. Steps to reproduce: 1.- Open a Nautilus window. 2.- In this window, browse a folder that contains text documents. 3.- Click on a text document. The document will be opened in gedit, which will appear on the foreground. 4.- Go back to the Nautilus window and click on a second document. The document will be open in gedit, but this time in will remain in the background, while the window list bar is flashing. Expected: gedit opens the second document and gets focus (i.e. it appears in the foreground). ** Affects: gedit (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed -- gedit does not get focus when opening more than one document https://launchpad.net/bugs/48097 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
