[Bug 317370] Re: A program shouldn't get the focus if the focus has been changed between the start and the ready state of the program
This bug has been fixed in Ubuntu 13.04. I guess it's because Ubuntu doesn't use metacity anymore with Unity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317370 Title: A program shouldn't get the focus if the focus has been changed between the start and the ready state of the program To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/metacity/+bug/317370/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yeah, but this is filed against metacity that is still a package in ubuntu so the bug is valid (even if nobody is going to ever fix it as metacity is afaik not maintained anymore). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317370 Title: A program shouldn't get the focus if the focus has been changed between the start and the ready state of the program To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/metacity/+bug/317370/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Confirming because I can reproduce it myself. ** Changed in: metacity (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed ** Description changed: (note: this was titled steal focus ever but on Adam's sage advice, I've changed it. While I would like this more accurately titled bug fixed, I still would never like to see a program steal focus ever :) tx to adam) I guess it's a gnome bug. My focus get's stolen by any number of programs. This may seem like a duplicate, but it's not - unlike other reports, I don't really care which particular programs are stealing my focus.

did as instructed, didn't work using opera9.6 and update-manager as tests over open firefox windows. restarted gnome to make sure, same result. I would like this reopened please. note that /apps/metacity/general/focus_mode doesn't actually have a strict mode, but allows you to enter one: The window focus mode indicates how windows are activated. It has three possible values; click means windows must be clicked in order to focus them, sloppy means windows are focused when the mouse enters the window, and mouse means windows are focused when the mouse enters the window and unfocused when the mouse leaves the window. but /apps/metacity/general/focus_new_windows has a strict option for programs started from a terminal: This option provides additional control over how newly created windows get focus. It has two possible values; smart applies the user's normal focus mode, and strict results in windows started from a terminal not being given focus.

Well, that's one opinion. I think it's a matter of perspective. I think the fact that it's an issue, but the only way to solve it is to write code...makes it a bug. To me this kind of functionality should be configurable. It doesn't seem to be.

While adam suggested I change the title on this one, I think I only gave him examples of start up focus theft because they were the most noticable - http password requests can also steal focus.
