Some details: in Ubuntu 13.10, when reported, focus went back when
releasing shortcut key/keys, in recent version (Ubuntu 14.04) focus go
back shortly after pressing key(s), while keys are still in pressed
position; still triggering annoying behavior in some apps (i.e. twitter
reply box).
** Also affects: unity-settings-daemon
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:
- Pressing keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout causes temporary loss of
focus
+ Pressing any global keyboard shortcut causes temporary loss of focus
** Description changed:
- When pressing keyboard shourtcut for switching keyboard layout, focus
- temporary switches from active text input to something else, then
- restores back when releasing keys used to switch. Maybe even active
- window loses focus, but window frame does not shows this (window header
- remains to look active).
+ When pressing any global keyboard shourtcut (configurable via System
+ settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts; i.e. for switching keyboard layout,
+ volume up/down), focus temporary switches from active text input to
+ something else, then restores back shortly. Maybe even active window
+ loses focus, but window frame does not shows this (window header remains
+ to look active).
- For example: when I press ctrl+shift here, when writing this
- description, yellow frame disappears from text input box, text caret
- disappears too; they appear again when releasing ctrl+shift. The same
- occurs in all other programs, i.e. terminal.
