This sounds like a feature usually called "focus-stealing prevention". I don't know how it's exactly implemented in Gnome Shell but you should report it to the Gnome developers to get their opinion first:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues and then tell us the new issue ID. -- 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/1857122 Title: New Windows are opened below other windows and require extra clicks to acees Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Sometimes when opening new windows the new window is opened below other windows. This behaviour is not consistent. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it does not happen. This is rather unpredictable and very frustrating. The problem got horribly worde when moving to a fast computer running Ubuntu 19.10 This behaviour causes typing to go to the wrong window so sometimes when I already start typing expected entry just to discover the actual window I am expecting is hidden and the actual typing goes to the wrong place. This can easily lead to revealing of sensitive information therefore IMHO it should be treated as a security issue. I think this is a security issue because this behaviour is in contradiction with Windows/Mac and Ubuntu (sometimes)' so Me ' as a user' is confused and typing to the wrong place can lead to all sorts of errors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1857122/+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
