Example 1: Nautilus steals focus when a USB key is inserted. Steps to reproduce:
1 Start browser, go to favourite search engine, start typing in "search text" box. 2 Insert USB stick. 3 Continue typing in browsers "search ahead" box. 4 Nautilus opens a new window showing contents of USB stick which steals focus. Keyboard strokes that should be going to browser window are assimilated by Nautilus' "type ahead" function. Expected behaviour: 1 Nautilus is opened in a background window. Actual behaviour: 1 Nautilus steals focus. Reproducible: 1 Always. Example 2: Update manager steals focus. Steps to reproduce: 1 Launch text editor and start typing some text. 2 Launch update manager. 3 Set update manager going to download updates. 4 Return to text editor and continue typing text. 5 At some point update manager will display a dialogue which will steal focus. If this should happen to be with a prompt then the default action of the prompt will be taken should you press the spacebar (which should be going to text editor) Expected behaviour: 1 Update manager will stay in the background. Any dialogues will wait for the user to manually return focus to the application. Actual behaviour: 1 Update manager dialogues steal focus and assimilate keystrokes intended for text editor. Reproducible: 1 Always. These are simply the latest two examples but the problem is now endemic in the Gnome desktop. -- Certain windows steal focus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/54127 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
