GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 167983
Window selected in window list group does not come to foreground
Last modified: 2005-02-20 21:09:25 UTC
Version details: ubuntu universe package Distribution/Version: ubuntu hoary 1) Open more than nine folders using spatial Nautilus 2) Notice that all nine folders now become a "group" in the window list. I.e. there is only one window list entry for all nine nautilus windows. 3) Open another application such as epiphany and maximize it. 5) With epiphany in the foreground choose any of the nautilus windows from the popup on the window list. 6) Notice that the nautilus window becomes the foremost nautilus window but does not appear on top of the epiphany window. It is still behind the epiphany window and occluded by it. I am unsure wheather this is a gnome-panel or metacity bug. You people will know though :)
It's a metacity bug. Well, kind of two metacity bugs and a libwnck one, but mainly a Metacity bug. One which I'm about to commit some patches for too. :-) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 161361 ***
