Bug Description
Zim version :
-------
Zim :
# locale: fr_FR.UTF-8
# Loading translation from: /usr/local/
# This is zim 0.26
# Gtk2 version is 1.161
# compiled against gtk+ 2.12.0
# linked against gtk+ 2.12.9
OS : Ubuntu 8.04
Use case 1 :
-------
- you're working with a notebook and need to take a look at another one.
- you go to the file menu and click "open another notebook..." (or type
CTRL+o)
- the "open notebook" dialog pops up. In fact, it **pops under** : the
main window (notebook) still have the focus and you have to manualy
switch to the dialog window.
- you select a notebook and click "open" : again, the new window pops
under and you have to manually switch to it.
Use case 2 :
-------
- you have a notebook opened but reduced in the systray
- you're working in another application and need to pick up some info
from this notebook
- you click the Zim icon in the toolbar : the notebook window also pops
under the application window where you're working in.
Comments
-------
- It doesn't always happen (7-8/10), but i'm not able to specify a clear actions sequence that reproduce the behaviour consistently.
- Don't know if the behaviour is due to zim or to gtk. This kind of "no-focus" on opening window also appears on gtk apps under Windows (like Geany).
What window manager are you using ?
