I learned from here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/457857/ubuntu-14-04-calculator-does-not-get-focus-when-opened-from-keyboard-shortcut
...that the problem seems to only occur with Unity's built-in "Launchers" (System Settings->Keyboard->Shortcuts->Launchers). Following the suggested answer on AU, I disabled my key-combo for the "Launch calculator" shortcut, and added a Custom Shortcut to gnome- calculator. Now it works as expected! What's odd is that the "Launch terminal" built-in Launcher (mapped to Super+T) works fine. It always comes to the foreground and is focused. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1339714 Title: Application windows do not become active when started via keyboard shortcuts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1339714/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
