** Also affects: metacity via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562476 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317370 Title: A program shouldn't get the focus if the focus has been changed between the start and the ready state of the program Status in The Metacity Window Manager: Unknown Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: (note: this was titled "steal focus ever" but on Adam's sage advice, I've changed it. While I would like this more accurately titled bug fixed, I still would never like to see a program steal focus ever :) tx to adam) I guess it's a gnome bug. My focus get's stolen by any number of programs. This may seem like a duplicate, but it's not - unlike other reports, I don't really care which particular programs are stealing my focus. It just shouldn't by anything, ever. There doesn't seem to be a setting that enables a "don't you dare" regards focus stealing. Ubuntu Intrepid, fully up to date from this morning on eeepc 1000H ===== Steps to reproduce: 1) Open any application. For example, gedit. 2) Start a program that takes a while to launch. For example, OpenOffice Writer. 3) While Writer is opening, quickly switch focus to gedit. (And start typing, if you're fast enough.) 4) In the middle of your typing, Writer will open and steal focus.
