Funnily enough, I've started seeing this again just in the last few
days. The fact I'd forgotten about the problem suggests it must be
intermittent.

Right now, I double-click a file in Nautilus which opens it in gedit,
hit Ctrl+I to scroll to a given line in gedit, type the line and hit
enter. Since Nautilus retains focus the whole time (even though gedit is
above it in the z-order), this has the effect of renaming the selected
file...

I'm running gedit 2.30.3-0ubuntu0.1 on lucid. I'm not at my work machine
right now so I can't confirm the repro steps, but I'm 95% sure they
still apply. I'll have another look tomorrow.

Title:
  gedit declines to take focus when opening second document

Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gedit

  1. Open Nautilus
  2. Double-click a text file
  3. gedit opens and takes focus
  4. Return to Nautilus
  5. Double-click a second text file
  6. The file opens in gedit and gedit comes to the front, but Nautilus retains focus (even if gedit is maximised!)
  7. Use the mousewheel to scroll the document while reading
  8. Time passes
  9. Fail to observe that gedit didn't take focus the second time
  10. Press Ctrl-W to close the document you were reading
  11. Nautilus closes

  AFAICT, this behaviour was recently introduced.
