This used to not be an issue in previous versions of Ubuntu. Has been for at least the last couple of versions. I have exactly the same symptoms as original poster. Problem occurs when setting shortcuts in either keyboard:shortcuts or in ccsm (compiz): general: commands
Tried changing settings in ccsm: general options: focus & raise behaviour and found that turning off 'focus prevention level' allowed for gedit and nemo to open in the foreground even with previous instances running. However not sure this is a proper fix since without modifying this, the behaviour was inconsistent (ex shortcuts to genome- calculator could bring up multiple instances in the foreground, but not with gedit or nemo), and this may allow unwanted popups in the foreground such as system updates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1330889 Title: Keyboard shortcuts open window in background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1330889/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
