Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 17.10 (artful) reached end-of-life on July 19, 2018.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases We appreciate that this bug may be old and you might not be interested in discussing it any more. But if you are then please upgrade to the latest Ubuntu version and re-test. If you then find the bug is still present in the newer Ubuntu version, please add a comment here telling us which new version it is in and change the bug status to Confirmed. ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1727868 Title: New windows are unfocused and go below current window Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When new applications are launched from the terminal in 17.10, the windows are unfocused and appear below the current window. This is the opposite of the behavior in (at least) 16.10 and 17.04, where new windows would appear focused and on top. This appears to be a feature in Gnome 3, which is new in 17.10. Ubuntu users upgrading from earlier versions should not be assumed to be familiar Gnome 3, nor with how to tweak Gnome settings. The Release Notes should indicate this change and document how to turn it off. Also, and more importantly, there needs to actually be a way to restore the previous behavior. If there is, I've been unable to find it in Settings, gnome-tweak-tool, or dconf-editor.
