Curiously, when you click on the Indicator Applet icon and select Pidgin, the buddy list appears just BEHIND the window having the focus. Try to following:
1. Open Firefox, full maximized. 2. Open a Terminal. 3. Click on Indicator Applet -> Pidgin. Result: the buddy list is displayed BEHIND the terminal window, but IN FRONT of the Firefox window. 4. Click on the buddy list to give it the focus. The buddy list goes in front of the terminal window. 5. Click on X button to close the buddy list. 6. Click on Indicator Applet -> Pidgin. Result: the buddy list is displayed IN FRONT of all windows, because there's no another window focused. 7. Click on X button to close the buddy list. 8. Click on the Terminal window, even it already has the focus (this is very important). 9. Click on Indicator Applet -> Pidgin. Result: the buddy list is displayed BEHIND the terminal window, but IN FRONT of the Firefox window. If you skip the step #8, then the buddy list is displayed IN FRONT of all windows. It seems that Pidgin tries to remember what window had the focus when the buddy list closed. -- indicator-applet fails to bring pidgin to foreground https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346554 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
