GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 60257
focus suck
Last modified: 2009-09-01 19:30:03 UTC
related to the sawfish-workspace-switching bug: if you run evolution over a remote X connection, it will tend to steal focus from you a lot, because if you move the cursor over the remote evo window and then into another (local) window, the second window will immediately claim the focus (with the correct timestamp), and then after the events propagate to the remote machine and back, the remote window will claim focus *with the WRONG timestamp* and end up stealing the focus back from the window that's supposed to have it.

Is this problem still there?
it was definitely still there in GNOME 2.2. AFAIK it's still there in 2.4 but I haven't looked at the code.
Closing this as WONTFIX now.
