It is not a mystery, and has nothing to do with Geany. I have the identical issue, and have been researching and studying the topic for months. I am also using Kubuntu 22.04.2, and its GTK/Gnome relative, Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.2.
The initial focus acquiring behavior was taken over by the window one is working in. In this context, the desktop is counted as a window. This also applies to opening Firefox where the home page is DuckDuckGo. Running Geany, or any other software, from a .sh file, is the only quick solution I can think of. This would set the focus after Geany is open. ` 'xdotool click window = activetitle_ 1' `. I haven't tried this particular code but most of my apps' .desktop files use .sh files to accommodate shell commands before or after starting an app. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3531#issuecomment-1666657196 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
