Zach is correct; this is not a duplicate of bug #29560. That bug is a filed against metacity, which is only one of the components contributing to the failure of Ubuntu to provide a smooth DnD experience.
As written, the summary and report do not describe the commonly desired behavior for DnD. What's needed is not for a program to "steal focus", merely for its window to be raised at the right time. Removing the duplicate marker and leaving as invalid. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 29560 drag & drop improvement: delay bringing window to front until mouse released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388247 Title: Nautilus windows don't steal focus when files are dragged into them To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/388247/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
