I have this problem with at least GIMP, Metacity or Mutter, and Nautilus or Nautilus Elementary.
When I first double-click an XCF file and GIMP is not running, then GIMP starts and its windows are raised and focused. If I then go to a folder and open another XCF file - with GIMP still running - the XCF file is opened in an unfocused window underneath the folder window and its task bar button pulses. Between the second click of the double-click and a few moments after the new window appears, I neither type nor click. This happens with applications other than GIMP, but I don't recall which ones. I've not exhausted the combinations of apps, Metacity or Mutter, and Nautilus or Nautilus Elementary. I've tried both "smart" and "strict" as options for "focus_new_windows" and the behavior is the same. As I recall, and it's been more than 5 years, the file manager should pass the timestamp of the second click in the double-click to the application with which the file will be opened. The application should either call XSetInputFocus using that timestamp or use some EWMH request with the timestamp or both to have the window raised and focused. Focus should only change if no button presses or key presses have occurred since the double-click. Because this bug could be a failure on the part of any of the three applications involved (launcher, new window maker, window manager), I'm not sure it's actually a Metacity bug. -- double click in file from my desktop folder open the application, but focus is not in new application. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/70951 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
