[Bug 781931] Re: New windows are moved to front but don't take focus

 

** Description changed:

- NOTE: The nautilus part of this bug is being handled in bug 333366
- instead.
+ Impact:
+ sometime new dialog doesn't get the focus
  
- Make sure you follow the exact steps
+ Test Case for the nautilus SRU:
+ - open gedit, click in the text entry
+ - click on nautilus on the launcher
+ - check if the nautilus dialog got the focus or not
  
- 1. start gnome-terminal
- 2. now start nautilus
- 
- What happens
- nautilus window does not get focused as the menubar still shows menus of the terminal
- 
- What should happen
- nautilus should be focused.
- 
- =====Original Report=====
- 
- Binary package hint: unity
- 
- A new app will open (say Nautilus) and I am in another app (say
- Terminal). Even though Nautilus jumps to front, the menu bar on top is
- still from the Terminal. This is confusing and it caused me more than
- once to turn off the app I was in!
