Hey list, Some people I know have brought to my attention a small nuisance. These users are complaining that "Always on Top" windows are stealing focus when you switch workspaces.
I'd like to note that while these users are observing this behaviour on
Unity, I've also observed it under Xfce 4.10. I'd also like to note
that I can fully appreciate that it is debatable whether this is a
"bug" or a feature request.
[Steps to reproduce]
1. Open any application (e.g. TextEditor)
2. Right click the title bar
2a. Select "Always on Visible Workspace"
3. Right click the title bar
3a. Select "Always on Top"
4. Open a different application (e.g. Terminal)
5. Ensure that window has focus
6. Switch workspaces (Notice: the first application now has
focus)
7. Return to first workspace (Notice: the second application
does not regain focus)
[Expected result]
The application that had focus when you left the workspace
should still have focus when you switch back to it.
[Actual result]
The "Always on Top" application has "stolen" the focus.
I'd like to propose that this behaviour be user configurable, perhaps
with the default left to as it is now. I'd like to implement this, but
before I spend any time on it, I thought I'd run it by upstream before
investing the time only to have a patch turned down on principle.
Respectfully,
