Spoke with the Unity guys, this bug has to do with focus prevention and the window manager in use.
The classic desktop uses metacity and the window focus prevention there isn't customisable, if they use compiz/unity however then they can use ccsm to change the level of focus stealing prevention, its in the general tab. But really as Sebastian pointed out if there are user events after the click the application should get the focus so therefore the bug either lies in rhythmbox for not using the right timestamps or compiz. ** Changed in: indicator-sound Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: indicator-sound (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: indicator-sound Assignee: (unassigned) => Conor Curran (cjcurran) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/692189 Title: rhythmbox is not given focus when re-opened from sound applet menu -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
