Example 1: Plugging in a USB stick just caused a window to steal focus. How to reproduce.
1 Open a browser, go to favourite search engine, start typing in search box. 2 Insert USB stick. 3 Continue typing in browsers search box.. 4 After a short pause Nautilus is opened and steals focus. Keystrokes go to Nautilus instead of browser search box. The behaviour I expected. 1 Newly opened Nautilus is opened in a background window and does not steal focus. The behaviour I encountered. 1 Nautilus stole the focus and my keystrokes were assimilated by its "type ahead" function. Reproducible: 1 Always Example 2: Update Manger steals focus. How to reproduce. 1 Open text editor start typing some text. 2 Run Update Manager, install updates. 3 Return to text editor continue typing. 4 After a short pause Update Manager will steal focus. The behaviour I expected. 1 Update manager will work in the background and will wait for me to manually return focus to it. The behaviour I encountered. 1 Update manager stole the focus Reproducible: 1 Always.
