[Launchpad Bug Tracker <932486@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package unity -
7.2.5+14.04.20150521.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity (7.2.5+14.04.20150521.1-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=medium

  [ Chris Townsend ]
  * Releasing 7.2.5.
  * Bump version to 7.2.5.
  * Use a 2 second delay before showing the first run shortcut hints to
    workaround a race condition on input handling. (LP: #1313597)

  [ Andrea Azzarone ]
  * Add the possibility to specify the font size and the font weight
    without chaning the default font name. (LP: #886478)
  * Do not restore focus if a quicklist is opened during launcher key
    navigation. (LP: #932486)
  * Draw osk above unity shell. (LP: #1413165)
  * Forward first key event that happens on top of the blank window to
    the lockscreen. (LP: #1308265)
  * Make sure scope_views_[filter.id] exists before using operator[] on
    it. (LP: #926979)
  * Release pointer barrier if launcher is in lock_hide state. (LP:
    #1029114)

  [ Brandon Schaefer ]
  * When we quit the quicklist it would check if the mouse was over the
    launcher, if it wasn't it would fold the launcher. We don't need to
    check this if we are in keynav as we want all the icons to be
    unfolded. (LP: #1246891)

  [ CI Train Bot ]
  * New rebuild forced.

  [ Stephen M. Webb ]
  * AP tests: accounted for arbitrarily-raised exceptions in checking
    scaled windows (LP: #1436095)

  In Progress

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  Poor user experience due to the app window not being focused as
  expected.

  [ Test Case ]

  0. Have at least one application window open
  1. Enter launcher keynav mode with Alt+F1
  2. Select a launcher icon with the Up or Down keys.
  3. Show the quicklist by pressing Right.
  4. Collapse the quicklist by pressing Left.
  5. Observe that the app window never has focus during the above steps.

  [ Regression Potential ]

  None observed.

  Original Description:

  To reproduce:

  0) Have at least one application window open
  1) Enter launcher keynav mode with Alt+F1

   * Note that when entering keynav mode, the application loses focus.
  THe triangle to the right of it's launcher icon is no longer drawn,
  and the window title is not displayed in the panel.

  2) Select a launcher icon with the Up or Down keys.
  3) Show the quicklist by pressing Right.

   * Note that the application becomes active again - it's window title
  is drawn to the panel, and the triangle to the right of the launcher
  icon is drawn again.

  4) Collapse the quicklist by pressing Left.

   * The app loses focus again.

  This seems like inconsistent behavior to me... either the app should
  never lose focus when we enter keynav mode, or should not be activated
  when we show a quicklist.
