Title:
new gnome-terminal instances launched from nautilus fail to receive
automatic focus
Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When a first gnome-terminal instance is launched from nautilus
(context menu item "Open in Terminal"), it automatically receives
focus for keyboard input.
When additional instances are launched in the same way, the mechanism
breaks down and focus remains with nautilus. If the user immediately
starts typing, their input ends up being processed by the nautilus
search bar instead of the terminal. Correcting this course of action
requires unnecessary clicks or keyboard strokes. That is potentially
confusing and certainly annoying.
I remember being affected by the same bug in the early days of either
Ubuntu 23.04 or 23.10. I have found a bug report related to gentoo
that mentions something very much like what I am describing here:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8790088.html?sid=fe9cfd6188d38eb5e550e3e45fffe19f";.
It seems to suggest that the bug affects only wayland but I use X11.
