Public bug reported: I noticed that when I tried to open text files via the dash, gedit did not take focus. I decided to check a few other applications, and while libreoffice and evince both would take focus, eye of gnome had the same issue gedit does. Both gedit and eye of gnome do, however, take focus when the same files are access via nautilus.
Here is a video demonstrating the issue: http://youtu.be/8wuObjxofF0 In the video you'll notice that when I open the files for gedit and eye of gnome via the dash, their windows do not take focus, noted by the fact that the window border stays colorless, and the global menu does not display the title of the window. You'll also notice that both applications behave correctly when the files are accessed via nautilus. Libreoffice is also shown, so that you can see it only effects certain applications. Also, the video does not show it, but opening the applications via the dash works as expected. In other words, if I launch gedit via the dash, it takes focus, however, if I open a file, which will open in gedit, it will not take focus. To reproduce: Open a text file via the dash, either by searching and hitting "enter," or by clicking a recently used file.
