Public bug reported:
When new applications are launched from the terminal in 17.10, the
windows are unfocused and appear below the current window. This is the
opposite of the behavior in (at least) 16.10 and 17.04, where new
windows would appear focused and on top. This appears to be a feature in
Gnome 3, which is new in 17.10. Ubuntu users upgrading from earlier
versions should not be assumed to be familiar Gnome 3, nor with how to
tweak Gnome settings. The Release Notes should indicate this change and
document how to turn it off. Also, and more importantly, there needs to
actually be a way to restore the previous behavior. If there is, I've
been unable to find it in Settings, gnome-tweak-tool, or dconf-editor.
