it's not generally slow enough for the latter to be an issue. :-) Even if I just go nice and slow. Click... window opens... it doesn't have focus... It continues to not have focus until I do something that would give it focus in the normal fashion, like clicking on it, clicking on its dock icon now it's running, alt-tabbing to it...
Is this not happening for you in launching gnome-terminal? It's same for me whether from dock, from app grid, from app grid's search field. *Sometimes* it's been slow enough that I think I've seen the window have focus for a tiny moment (the close-window icon in the titlebar is orange for a moment) then it gets taken away. Usually it's too fast to see that happen. BTW I've also tried it with *all* extensions removed, including ubuntu-dock and appindicators and desktop-icons, by removing their packages. No difference. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817924 Title: apps launched from gnome shell do not get input focus Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Observed on upgrading to disco-proposed today... When launching an app from the dock or from the applications grid (so i believe it's a gnome-shell thing rather than a dock thing), the app opens, but does not get the input focus. You have to either click in the window, or clicking again on the icon of the running app in the dock works, to give it focus. An extra step my muscle memory isn't prepared for! It seems like the sort of thing that might be an option rather than a bug, but if so, changing this behaviour back to its previous default is not at all obvious (I haven't found a way). So guessing it is a bug. NB: After launching an app this way, *no* window has focus. It is lost by the app that had it before, but not given to the newly started app. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 19.04 Package: gnome-shell 3.31.90-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.19.0-13.14-generic 4.19.20 Uname: Linux 4.19.0-13-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.10-0ubuntu21 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Wed Feb 27 15:53:07 2019 DisplayManager: gdm3 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-09-11 (169 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Alpha amd64 (20180214) SourcePackage: gnome-shell UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to disco on 2019-01-13 (44 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1817924/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
