Global menu focus bug in newly launched fullscreen apps

[psypher]

When you have a fullscreen app in focus, and open a new app, like nautilus, and it happens to open fullscreen as well this issue occurs. Now don't click and focus on the newly opened app and try close it immediately, maybe you opened the wrong one by mistake. What happens is that despite the new app being fullscreen the global menu is not focused on the new app yet still focused on the old app, when you try closing it with the global menu buttons you actually end up closing the app in the background and not the app which is currently fullscreen. I first picked up this issue when creating USB boot disks. After you format the USB stick nautilus will automount the drive and open itself as fullscreen. You know you don't need that window so you close it immediately with the global menu close button. Now you close USB disk creator instead and nautilus stays open causing you to start all over again, open disk creator, mount the image etc etc. time wasted.

This should be fixed so that when an application open fresh as fullscreen global menu should immediately focus on it and not the previous app below it. it would avoid a lot of frustration and incorrectly closing the wrong app. This happens to me at least once a day if not more. I have to now train myself to always first click the new app, somewhere, to get focus so that it may be closed.

Thanks

Yes, this happens to me too (ha, I marked myself as affected and it got confirmed, nice).

And I think this is a duplicate of bug 883573 (feel free to unduplicate if you do not think so).
