*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 391479 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391479 @vish, no desktop effects. The problem occurs when dpkg requires a user response such as when a config file was modified by the user and dpkg asks whether to use the packaged version or keep the original. The problem is that the dialog steals focus and a default entry is set. If I am typing in another window and I press the enter key (I think the spacebar also) at the same time the dpkg window steals focus, I commit the change without having a chance to review it, and thus possibly breaking my system. -- Dialogs steal focus during update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/373974 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Summary (tell me if I'm wrong): - when it opens automatically (after updating the package list) - when you click "check" and there are NOT new pagkages (it steals for a second showing the progress bar at the end) - when you click "check" and there are new packages - when it finishes downloading packages and starts installing them - when it needs your attention to make a decision - when it finishes installing packages could it be a synaptic problem? update manager uses synapric windows -- Dialogs steal focus during update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/373974 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This seems to have become worse: Both the "Downloading Updates" and "Applying Updates" windows steal focus.

As far as I understand, it is the window manager that primarily decides whether to give focus to a new window. That said, apps can to things that affect how window managers do things. In particular, I think update-manager should make all of its dialogs transient for the main window.

Personally I don't see any good reason to steal focus, ever. It is quite simply rude and annoying.
