This problem is only present when opening gedit text documents from Nautilus. If I open (for example) a PNG file, the focus switches to the image viewer as the PNG file is opened.

I can find no setting "Always on top" in Nautilus. I was not aware of such a setting. Can you describe more? Your PNG was not viewable. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mikko Nurminen" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2017 8:57:43 AM Subject: Re: Window not moved to front when opening text document Do you have the same problem when opening other files, for example pictures? If you do, it might be that you have set Nautilus to be always on top. "Always on top" is set in the menu that opens when you click the window's title bar with secondary mouse button. See this image for menu reference (Gnome on left): https://spin.atomicobject.com/ wp-content/uploads/always-on-top-gnome-kde.png. It is my understanding that the setting doesn't persist if the window is closed, so you can test this just by closing and re-opening Nautilus.
