Re: [Lazarus] Minor annoyance in IDE
Zelkjo and Juha, You are both right. I found the setting in the window manager with two choices: ClickToFocus and FocusFollowsMouse. It was set to FocusFollowsMouse. Changing it made the annoyance go away. Now the question is "why did it change in the immediate past?" I did not change it knowingly. Maybe it was a stray cosmic ray flipping the bit. Anyway I am back. As for my health issues, next week I will celebrate my 80th birthday and the health issues all have to do with that. At least I still have my mind and memory. I can work around the physical problems.

I upgraded to Lazarus 2.2.4 before getting back to work and my memory of the annoyance from earlier versions may be erroneous (I don't remember it happening in the past). When I have a non-Lazarus window overlapping the main IDE window and I move the mouse over the main window the main window raises itself over everything else on the desktop. This is exceedingly annoying. My normal muscle-memory is that I am the only one who explicitly raises windows using a mouse click (too much MS Windows in the distant past?). Is there any way to disable this? I have looked at all of the configuration menus/pages but didn't see any thing that looks appropriate. Or might it just be the OS (Linux Mint XFCE)? Some window managers have such configuration, focus on mouse over or similar, so that could be your problem. Search for window focusing in xfce configuration. zeljko -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
