This bug is plaguing me very regularly in 11.10 on my laptop (Thinkpad T510). What's interesting is that it doesn't happen on my desktop PC, also running 11.10. Regardless, I suspect it's going to drive me to xfce, because it makes the desktop unusable. So far I haven't had a window lose focus while I was typing in it. Rather, for me happens frequently when unlocking the desktop, or switching between workspaces.
I can reproduce this problem consistently by having a workspace full of gnome-terminals, another workspace with Firefox, and then switching from the terminals workspace to Firefox. (I use a switch-to-workspace-<N> keyboard shortcut, but I've seen it with expose switching as well.) After switching, Firefox always loses focus, and I must click the desktop and click back to Firefox (or minimize/restore, or shade/unshade) to get focus back in Firefox. When I switch back to the terminals workspace, gnome-terminal has focus ok. unity --reset did not fix the issue for me, but then after --reset I also restored the functionality I need, which is: sloppy focus (autoraise disabled), 6x1 virtual workspaces (with keybindings ctrl- alt-[1234qw]), set the keybinding on the scale plugin to ctrl-alt-r (toggle mode disabled). At first I suspected sloppy focus, but even after returning to click-to- focus, the problem persists. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/848115 Title: Active windows lose focus to desktop randomly and when show desktop command is run even when they're still active To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/848115/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
