Description Elijah Newren 2006-09-25 22:54:27 UTC 
Matthew pointed this out on the usability list; see the very tail end of http://mail.gnome.org/archives/usability/2006-September/msg00137.html:

  "The same is supposed to apply to existing dialogs; it shouldn't pop in front
   of unrelated windows. If it does, that's a bug."

This has partially already been covered by bug 166894 and bug 307875 (the latter of which mostly focused on other issues, though), but it doesn't cover the intial-map case.

*** Bug 364059 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 2 Elijah Newren 2006-10-22 04:31:56 UTC 
Reporter of bug 364059 added a testcase to that bug report.  :)
Comment 3 Martin Meyer 2007-09-26 12:49:07 UTC 
Should this bug block bug 149028? That's the focus-stealing tracker bug.
Comment 4 Elijah Newren 2007-09-27 00:22:59 UTC 
No.  This bug is about stacking, not focus.  (There is a stacking tracker bug that this could be added to, but I'm too lazy to look it up.)
Comment 5 André Klapper 2020-11-06 20:07:15 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.
