[Bug 627195]
So... this has been sitting in my inbox for a *long* time, sorry. I think a better approach would be to suggest clients make direct use of the desktop entry spec, rather than duplicating the methods here. We already have a property to direct clients to the desktop file for the media player, so they can check that desktop file for whether it can be activated, and call the org.freedesktop.Application Activate() method. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/627195 Title: Window management - Apps raised from indicators sometimes dont have the focus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/627195/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 627195]
Created attachment 88321 Add org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Activate Alex, the desktop entry spec recently gained support for org.freedesktop.Application, which has a method Activate() that takes a platform data. I think it makes sense to reuse this terminology and the platform-data convention.

[Bug 627195]
Not convinced that following GApplication's slightly esoteric form is helpful. The name's fine, but the way it encodes/decodes the timestamp is kinda weird. We'll probably need a CanRaiseWithTimestamp property or some such to let clients know whether this is implemented. Or a HasRaiseWithTimestamp, which can be used in combination with CanRaise. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/627195 Title: Window management - Apps raised from indicators sometimes dont have the focus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/627195/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 627195]
Instead of only passing a timestamp, this could be the same platform data that GApplication uses in its Activate method (of type "asv"). This would make passing these kinds of things more uniform and easier to handle for toolkits, as well as being extensible. Maybe we could even call it Activate ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/627195 Title: Window management - Apps raised from indicators sometimes dont have the focus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/627195/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 627195] Re: Window management - Apps raised from indicators sometimes dont have the focus
JaSauders, when a window opens or asks for focus, the window manager has to decide whether focusing it is a good idea. If you choose an item in an indicator menu, wanting to see a particular window, obviously it should be focused, right? Well, no. For example, when I choose the date item in the clock menu, Evolution takes 31 seconds to launch and open its window. If I get bored and continue typing this comment in Firefox in the meantime, I don't want the Evolution window to be focused when it eventually opens, because that would mean some of my typing would go into the wrong window. So, a window should be focused if you don't do anything -- or you aren't *about to* do anything -- between the time you ask for it and the time it opens. Simple enough, right? Well, no. Because the window manager usually doesn't know (A) exactly what action of yours -- if any -- caused the window to open in the first place, or (B) whether you are about to do something. (It can't see your finger getting ready to press a key, for example.) The fixes for this bug address (A), by including the timestamp of your menu selection with the request to launch a particular app. But sometimes that isn't possible, often it isn't supplied even when it is possible, and either way, that still doesn't address (B). So the focus-prevention-level setting is a dial for how eager the window manager should be in granting focus requests. The higher it is, the more often you'll get focus sticking -- a window failing to take focus when you expect it to. But the lower it is, the more often you'll get focus stealing -- one window taking focus while you are trying to use another. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/627195 Title: Window management - Apps raised from indicators sometimes dont have the focus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/627195/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 627195] Re: Window management - Apps raised from indicators sometimes dont have the focus
I couldn't see an obvious way to edit my above post, so apologies for sending out a second comment, but I do have to ask... why would the default parameter for focus-prevention-level not be 0 anyways? It doesn't seem, do I dare say, all that logical to have it set to 1 since it only ends up providing inconsistent behavior with the way things from system tray open. It being set to 0 provides that consistency. It would surely remove the "look on your launcher, see? it's there after all" comments I have to make quite often so users know that the application they tried to open from system tray isn't broken, it indeed launched, it's just... minimized and in your left launcher.

[Bug 627195] Re: Window management - Apps raised from indicators sometimes dont have the focus
Running 14.04.2 here with some of the same issues. I was seeing it with ownCloud client, network manager, and a weather applet known as my- weather-indicator. The issue came up at random, but it was easy to replicate within a matter of 15-20 seconds while continuously navigating around open windows followed by opening applications with system tray icons. I brought up conversation with some other users who gave me a suggestion that has, so far, worked. Figured I'd post it here in case it can benefit anybody else until the bug can be properly fixed. I ran this in terminal, followed by a log out/log in. dconf write /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/focus-prevention- level 0 This is a similar idea that Rael posted in response 43 above. I seem to recall Ubuntu switching to dconf over gconf at some point. I tested it in my 14.04.2 virtual machine (brand new, but fully updated install) however the gconf key didn't appear to fix the issue, as I was still able to replicate it. In the same VM, that dconf write command above seemed to fix the issue, as I have been unable to replicate it in my VM, nor my main laptop. The default focus-prevention-level is 1, which is considered "low", but appears to be the cause of this random behavior. Setting it to 0 seems to make it consistent. I haven't ran with this change for days/weeks/months, but in my tinkering so far today, the issue hasn't resurfaced a single time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/627195 Title: Window management - Apps raised from indicators sometimes dont have the focus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/627195/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 627195] Re: Window management - Apps raised from indicators sometimes dont have the focus
TomasHnyk: also gnome-open should pass the timestamp to the application it wants to launch, but it does not (it uses g_app_info_launch_default_for_uri without any GAppLaunchContext that keeps the event timeout), and this is not possible to do since in theory the terminal should pass the enter-key event timestamp to such programs. An environment variable could be used instead. However starting from Raring, also nautilus would highlight this problem when you open a location from terminal (the same doesn't happen when launched from unity), for the very same reason. When you open it from unity all works fine since we pass the event timestamp to the application. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/627195 Title: Window management - Apps raised from indicators sometimes dont have the focus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/627195/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 627195] Re: Window management - Apps raised from indicators sometimes dont have the focus
Unity is not the problem here. Indicator-session should actually pass the activation timestamp to the player when raising it. However, the problem is that IndicatorSound is just calling the Raise() method of the MPRIS dbus interface that most of the players are implementing. See: http://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris- spec/latest/Media_Player.html#Method:Raise As you see this method is not taking any parameter, while it should actually take the timestamp of the click event (the one we get into indicator-sound's MetadataMenuitem::handle_event), in order to work with the Focus Stealing Prevention mechanism that the windows managers are using nowadays (both compiz and mutter in fact). I've opened a bug for the MPRIS specification at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62917 and I encourage you to complete it. However this process can be long and until then the only way we have is to patch our players. Basically what we need to do is *temporary* using the workaround shown in the bug linked below to bypass the focus stealing prevention when the Raise method is called on them: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688830 ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #62917 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62917 ** Also affects: mpris via https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62917 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #688830 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688830 ** Description changed: Ubuntu 11.10 beta compiz 1:0.9.5.94+bzr2803-0ubuntu5 unity 4.16.0-0ubuntu1 1. open banshee, start a song in it and minimize 2. open another application lets say gnome-terminal 3. click on the sound menu and select banshee What happens banshee icon in the launcher wiggles and banshee main window is not shown What should happen banshee main window should come to focus This is a long standing bug which Ted Gould thinks should be fixed at window manager's level.

Possibly related: Assign some key-combination to "show player" (e.g. meta-p) in system settings -> keyboard -> shortcuts -> multimedia, press combination, watch as symbol in dash to the left wiggles but does not put focus on it. Very annoying when I want to quickly change songs without moving the mouse to the left screen border, wait until dash shows up and select player icon (or worse yet, when not having media player attached to dash, use the sound indicator *before* having to do those steps).

Sucks, but it works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/627195 Title: Apps raised from indicators sometimes dont have the focus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/627195/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 627195] Re: Apps raised from indicators sometimes dont have the focus
Thanks for forwarding this to the paper cuts project, however it unfortunately doesn't qualify for inclusion there as any work this far down into the stack, ie at the level of the window manager, is non- trivial and so cannot be considered a paper cut. ** No longer affects: hundredpapercuts -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/627195 Title: Apps raised from indicators sometimes dont have the focus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/627195/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
