Last modified: 2005-07-13 14:56:48 UTC
Please describe the problem: I am running firefox. Then I switch to another application and firefox is now in the background. Then I click on some URL, or again in the firefox icon to launch a different webpage. The window for the new webpage is created on the background Steps to reproduce: 1. Open firefox and emacs. 2. Fill the entire screen with emacs leaving firefox on the background 3. Click again on the firefox icon. Actual results: The new window for firefox is created on the background. Notice that 1) I do not have any weird focus setting. My computer is click-to-focus and click-raises 2) This happens with all applications which create new windows by handling a signal to an already runnning copy. For instance, firefox, yelp, etc. Expected results: The new window should be raised when created. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information:
