I don't know which was first metacity or mutter, but it seems that both
projects use the same approach

don't know why compiz insists on going a different route after more than
7 years of complains.

Still happening in Ubuntu 14.04. I'm on Sublime, so I open an app like
Chrome and while this app is loading, I'm go back to Sublime and
continue to write. So, after a while, Chrome loads, steal the focus and
before my brains know it, I'm typing the Sublime text on Chrome, leading

I do have this problem, too. Ubuntu 10.04, Compiz 0.8.4.
This problem is mentioned in several other bug reports about more
specific cases (usually the Update Manager), see below.
But it's a general problem. Mind the security impact!

WeatherGod: here's what is happening for me with Compiz activated:

focus is still on the terminal. That

Jaunty (compiz 0.8.2), and, on this computer, compiz is behaving

Julien, thank you for the very clear report of your issue and your

As for the difference between 0.8.2 and 0.8.4, I would first see what

Hello, thank you for taking the time to report this issue. Please
correct me if my interpretation of your issue is wrong. If you initiate
a new window from 'somewhere', and then change your focus to something
else before that new window appears, the new window will steal the
focus?
