Description Elijah Newren 2004-10-15 04:28:22 UTC
This bug will be here to track focus related bugs.  I'll add dependencies for
the following in a minute:

 88194  metacity forgets which window had focus after restart
 90382  Some kind of meta bug about focus tracking in general
100470  panel gets focus when it shouldn't
107347  app doesn't focus on map when it moves itself after showing
123366  visual bell modifies focus window
123576  alt+esc+any leaves raised unfocused window on top (may be raise issue)
126489  refuse to focus a window with a modal transient (& other stuff; 152283)
140977  Double focus due to WM_TAKE_FOCUS
143147  alt-tab freeze just after login (might be uninitialized-mrulist though)
149028  focus-stealing-bugs tracker
152004  strict pointer mode (i.e. focus on map iff window is under pointer)
154598  Alter meaning of expected_focus_window
??????  Windows can be multiply focused (see comment 2 of 140977; also 154598)
Comment 1 Elijah Newren 2005-02-08 23:46:55 UTC
*** Bug 166732 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 2 Elijah Newren 2005-02-08 23:49:02 UTC
(166732 was not a dupe--it was a botched attempt at marking it as blocking this
bug...)
Comment 3 Tommi Komulainen 2005-05-19 18:03:41 UTC
Adding evolution bug here as I'm not aware of desktop-wide focus bug tracker.

273912 Compose window not presented when launched from another application
(focus stealing prevention)
Comment 4 Elijah Newren 2005-05-19 18:54:10 UTC
Tommi: focus stealing prevention bugs do not belong in this tracker; they belong
in bug 149028.  (Most focus stealing prevention bugs are bugs in applications or
in gtk+; while I like having a tracker for them, there's so many that I want
them in a separate bug just for organization sake--however, this bug depends on
149028, meaning that it depends on all bugs that 149028 does)
Comment 5 André Klapper 2020-11-06 20:06:30 UTC
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/metacity/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
