If I understand this correctly, you disabled "Automatically give focus to newly created windows", expecting the system to give the new window focus? Does disabled mean unchecked?
I think that if the window is to be brought to the front on opening, it must have focus. That is the expected behaviour of the system. Any window that does not receive focus does not open on top of any other window. If a window opens with focus with "Automatically give focus to newly created windows" disabled (unchecked), the option is not working because you have explicitly told it not to give focus. ** Changed in: xfwm4 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Xubuntu: newly opened windows are no longer placed on front https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366683 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
