Comment 4 for bug 1377569

Since upgrading to Xubuntu 14.04 (from 12.04), many new windows that come up do not automatically get the focus. Most frequently I see this with password windows for encrypted document, but also for the Authorization window that comes up when I insert my flash drive (a separate bug).

I thought this was a LibreOffice problem at first, but it is now happening on other windows that come up outside LO.

I believe this is in the window manager, xfwm4, as that is where the setting to automatically change focus to new windows is.

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release: 14.04

$ apt-cache policy xfwm4
xfwm4:
  Installed: 4.11.1-2ubuntu2
  Candidate: 4.11.1-2ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 4.11.1-2ubuntu2 0

I expect the focus to switch to the newly opened window.

Instead, the focus stayed in the original window, which can allow passwords to be typed in when the original window still accepts input, like from a terminal.

I tried to get screenshots of this, but activating the screenshot app causes the focus to shift.
