so, if I understand correctly, there are 3 oppinions in contrary:
1. focusing code is not needed
no window should steal focus from any window, even if it is the parent
window.
2. windows should steal focus as dialogs appear
a window appears in front, if an error exists and a dialog pops up in front.
3. windows should be able to steal focus only from their parent window
a dialog appears in front of its parent window, but doesn't popup in
front, rather it should wait until the user focusses this dialog or its
parent window.
IMO (3) is the correct behaviour, since the user can decide in which
window he works and until there are no errors in the actual window, no
dialog comes up to the front.
if an error (or another important event) happens in another window
(mail/news window, browser window, address book window,...) the taskbar
icon should blink to say: *"hello user, something exiting/important has
happened (page loading has completed, error ##### exists or anything
else)! switch the window to see what's happening and decide what to
do"*. if the user then switches to the affected window he sees the
dialog/result of the event.
Currently there are various issues with focussing:
- dialogs pop up to the front, even if the affected window is in
background and the user doesn't worry about at the moment
- windows steal focus from each other if
a. a news message is loaded
b. browser begins to paint a document
c. some other event happens (?)
I think, all these issues should be solved in one. This lasts a bit
longer, but the problem would be really solved!
And, even if I am no developer and don't have to decide when which
work is going on: fix it until 0.9.3 or at least until 1.0, please. This
is a really annoying problem, a fix would make all users a much happier!
Regards,
Niko!
