nautilus overrides focus when swapping between main and secondary screen

[Albert Vilella]

Binary package hint: nautilus

A session with an external screen (A) and the laptop screen (B). Open a nautilus browser window with 3 images in it on screen A. Double-click on image 1, it correctly opens eog 1 and eog 1 takes focus. Drag nautilus to screen B. Double-click on image 2, it correctly opens eog 2 and eog 2 takes focus. Drag nautilus back to screen A. Double-click on image 3, it opens eog 3 but nautilus keeps focus, leaving a blinking eog 3 on the panel.

the issue doesn't seem due to nautilus bug just eog when there is an instance already running, do you get the bug opening two files on the same screen?

[Albert Vilella (avilella)]

that's true. It's a lot less complicated than I described: opening 2 files
with eog on the same screen has the same effect.

could you try if that's still an issue in jaunty?

[Albert Vilella (avilella)]

yes, it still happens in jaunty, using LiveCD. It's nautilus that is a
problem:

I download 2 images from the web into my Desktop. I open a web browser that
occupies most of the desktop space but where the images are, then
double-click on the first of them, eog stays on top of the browser,
double-click the second one, new eog stays on top of browser and first
image.

Now I open a nautilus window and go to Desktop. Double-click on the first
image, eog stays on top of the browser. Double-click on the second image,
and it's hidden behind the nautilus window.

Not confirming and the ubuntu team doesn't have the ressources to work on this specific issue but it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

[Albert Vilella (avilella)]

Done. Thanks!

Thank you for sending the bug there

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the issue has been fixed in upstream git and should be fixed in Ubuntu with the next version update

[Mörgæs (moergaes)]

Fixed upstream long time ago.
