Public bug reported: Metacity does not properly focus windows at all.
I've reproduced this behavior on many different hardware machines running Ubuntu 7.04. To see the problem in action, first add a few buttons to the panel at the top of the screen. Then, open firefox. Open some other programs using the quick launch buttons. Open some programs using the application menu. Witness that the newly opened program windows sometimes will be focused, sometimes will NOT be focused. Obviously, by clicking a button or navigating the menu and then clicking, the user has VERY CLEARLY indicated that they wish to run this program, and it should be focused when it launches! The new windows will also do the flashing window thing in the task list, asking for attention, instead of being focused. This is a _HUGE_ usability issue, that needs to be resolved ASAP. quod vide: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/41623 ** Affects: metacity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Changed in: metacity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- metacity is a huge piece of shit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/135646 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
