2009-01-15 09:32:03 Adam Niedling None: statusexplanation Is compiz enabled for you? So it's not a compiz issue. Is it happening all the time? Could you create a video of it by any chance?
2009-01-15 10:47:10 datakid description I guess it's a gnome bug. My focus get's stolen by any number of programs. This may seem like a duplicate, but it's not - unlike other reports, I don't really care which particular programs are stealing my focus. It just shouldn't by anything, ever. There doesn't seem to be a setting that enables a "don't you dare" regards focus stealing. Ubuntu Intrepid, fully up to date from this morning on eeepc 1000H (note: this was titled "steal focus ever" but on Adam's sage advice, I've changed it. While I would like this more accurately titled bug fixed, I still would never like to see a program steal focus ever :) tx to adam) I guess it's a gnome bug.

2009-01-18 08:10:19 Adam Niedling None: statusexplanation This is a complaint, not a bug. As I'm told by a developer, usability bugs are bugs. tjagoda: You shouldn't go around closing bugs like this with such a low bug triaging experience. And at least subscribe to them!

Ubuntu Intrepid, fully up to date from this morning on eeepc 1000H ===== Steps to reproduce: 1) Open any application. For example, gedit. 2) Start a program that takes a while to launch. For example, OpenOffice Writer. 3) While Writer is opening, quickly switch focus to gedit. (And start typing, if you're fast enough.) 4) In the middle of your typing, Writer will open and steal focus.
