Public bug reported:
I don't know whether this is supposed to be a new brilliantly designed
feature which is "working as [wrongly] intended" or if it is just a
regression, but it is certainly annoying.
When an application opens up a window of another application, what used to
happen (and the correct and expected behavior) was that that window was given
focus.
Now it is not. It is just highlighted in a barely perceptible way in the
Launcher.
Examples:
- in Thunderbird, click a link in an email => this opens the link in a new tab
in the default Browser (Google Chrome in my case). Google Chrome should be
given focus but it isn't. Its icon in the Launcher just is highlighted
- In Google Chrome, download a file. Then, when it appears on the
bottom, click the down arrow next to it and choose the "show in folder
option". This opens a new Nautilus windows. This window isn't given
focus as it should, and again is only slightly highlighted in the
Launcher.
