Ok, so I have been able to come up with a use case that always reproduces the bug for me. It seems I left out a critical piece of information.
You must already have gedit open with another file. ** Description changed: Expected behaviour: + - Open gedit so that it is active on your workspace (my tests show no opened file is needed but gedit needs to already be open) - In the folder window press enter to open a text document - Wait for gedit to go full screen - The active window should now be gedit, press ctrl+f to search for text and perform over keyboard commands on gedit Actual Behaviour: Nautilus keeps the active window status even though gedit may be completely full screen. Any key commands pressed go to nautilus even though the window it hiding behind the now full screen application. gedit is just the example, it could be any application not opened with the mouse. It seems that because no mouse input is received the new window whatever it may be never becomes the active window. This is wrong, the application that is launched by pressing the enter button should also become active not just for mouse clickers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879513 Title: nautilus keeps active window status when it shouldn't To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/879513/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
