Most frequently I see this with password windows for encrypted document, but also for the Authorization window that comes up when I insert my flash drive (a separate bug). I thought this was a LibreOffice problem at first, but it is now happening on other windows that come up outside LO. I believe this is in the window manager, xfwm4, as that is where the setting to automatically change focus to new windows is. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 $ apt-cache policy xfwm4 xfwm4: Installed: 4.11.1-2ubuntu2 Candidate: 4.11.1-2ubuntu2 Version table: *** 4.11.1-2ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status I expect the focus to switch to the newly opened window. Instead, the focus stayed in the original window, which can allow passwords to be typed in when the original window still accepts input, like from a terminal. I tried to get screenshots of this, but activating the screenshot app causes the focus to shift.

Basically, with apps that take longer to start (such as OpenOffice.org), other user input events may occur in the current window (e.g. you typing in the terminal) which would keep the focus in the terminal (this is expected with focus stealing prevention).
