Title:
message window is not focussed after opening (in metacity)
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird
When I open a new message from Thunderbird, with my window manager set
to metacity (Appearance-->Visual Effects-->None), I have an annoying
problem.
New message windows do not get 'focussed' when they are opened. Their
title bar is grey, and the main Thunderbird window retains the focus.
This means that when I press alt-F4 or ctrl-W, my main Thunderbird
window is closed, instead of my message window. Very annoying, because
it means that I lose my place in the message list, etc etc, and I can
only get the main window back again my typing ctrl-1.
This happens only in one particlar case, which is when I *already*
have a message window open, and the message window is being re-used
for the new message. It doesn't happen if I have no message window
already on.
Serious and easily-fixed usability bug IMHO, probably something in the
way that Thunderbird is interacting with the window manager, I would
guess.
