Description Christian Persch 2005-10-06 12:21:17 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
0) Launch file-roller on an archive
1) Click a file in the archive to open it in its external handler app
2) Before the app shows its window, click in another window

Actual result:
Newly launched app steals focus.

Expected result:
Focus stays with app I just gave focus to; handler app for the file launches in
the background.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use.

By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME.
Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME.

Still happens with file-roller from git master.
