GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 790322
Clicking one window brings another in the foreground
Last modified: 2017-11-14 14:40:19 UTC
Running Gnome 3.26.2 on Arch. Whenever clicking to focus and raise a window, another entirely unrelated window pops up. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open one window, A, of any program. Tile to one side of the screen. 2. Open a second window, B, of any program. Tile to the other side of the screen. 3. Open a third window, C, of any program. This time do not tile it, hover it over B. 4. Focus the window A. Expected outcome: A comes into focus, B and C are still visible. i.e. C is still displayed hovering over B. Actual outcome: A comes into focus, yet B gets displayed over the top of C. Essentially pushing C to the back, hiding it.
