[Bug 59068] Re: Window don't get focus
The solution does not work anymore. The problem came back after I switched my session to enlightenment and then back to gnome. Removing .gnome2 folders doesn't solve the issue anymore. To summarize the situation : - Alt+tab from Window A to Window B doesn't put focus on window B - to get the focus, I have to click on the window title bar. - Ctrl+Alt+tab to switch virtual desktop doesn't work anymore. - recreating the shortcut in system preferences keyboard shortcuts doesn't resolve anything The links provided here seems to describe somehow a similar problem : - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=287880 - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/58010 -- Window don't get focus https://launchpad.net/bugs/59068 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 59068] Re: Window don't get focus
I forgot to tell that I work with Xinerama and a Dual Screen Config and 4 virtual screens and a NVIDIA gfx card. Maybe this will give hints as you'll see later. So after several tests I found a way to get rid of the problem. As I previously explained, closing and opening a gnome session make the problem come back. - So I open a new gnome session. - I open any application and then a terminal window on my left screen. - I try Alt+tab but it doesn't work yet. - I drag my windows to my right screen - I retry Alt-tab but it still doesn't work. - I open an ssh or mysql DISTANT connection in my terminal window. - I drag my terminal window from right screen to left screen and then... both my screens blink, as if refreshing themselves and that's it : Alt-tab works again. - By the way Ctrl+Alt+tab work again. I can make more tests, or provide with any conf file if needed. I can tell you that Alt+tab not working is a real productivity killer when you're used to work with the keyboard at 99% (I switch from vim to firefox a thousand times a day to develop my apps, so this is quite annoying ). I think this bug importance should have been listed as medium at least. -- Window don't get focus https://launchpad.net/bugs/59068 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

The same problem rose after I upgraded to Ubuntu Edgy. And I had another problem linked to this issue : my alt+tab and ctrl+alt+tab didn't work. I solved this issue by renaming all my .gnome and .gnome2 pref folders thus forcing gnome to recreate them. -- Window don't get focus https://launchpad.net/bugs/59068 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
