Bug Description

I was really annoyed by eog today because whenever I double-clicked a picture the opened eog window did not get the focus, even though it popped up in front. When pressing any key like left arrow or right to move to next/prev picture, it failed. Nautilus still had keyboard focus!

I found out that happened because I forgot another eog window somewhere else, minimized, on different screen, it does not matter.

To reproduce: open one picture with eog, leave that window.

Go back to Nautilus, open a second picture! The unity dock indicates by shaking the icon, but the new picture appears - just as you want. But it will not have keyboard focus.

That is really, really annoying.
Maybe it's a Unity bug though, I am not sure...
