Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: metacity
If I open a link in mail program. im or something like that and Firefox
is not running it is started and gets a focus but if Firefox is already
running the link gets loaded in Firefox but the mail program still has
the focus so you think nothing happens. The most annoying problem is
that Firefox opens for some operation like downloads a new window. If
you change back to main Firefox and click another download which appears
in the opened popup you have to change manually to it. But this is not
only Firefox specific since it doesn't happen in KDE or Windows afaik.
Same happens with Totem and I guess many more appliations which allow
only one instance.
If someones want to check it.
1. Open Nautilus and make it full screen.
2. Open a video in Totem.
3. Change back to Nautilus.
4. Start another video with Totem.
=> Totem plays the new video but doesn't get focused.
Same happens with Evolution. If it is already running and you start it
again another instance is started but it gets not focused. This doesn't
happen if no Evolution is running.
It is very likely that people click several times on a file until they
realize.
