Title:
Certain applications do not take focus when files are opened via the
dash
Status in Unity:
Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I noticed that when I tried to open text files via the dash, gedit did
not take focus. I decided to check a few other applications, and while
libreoffice and evince both would take focus, eye of gnome had the
same issue gedit does. Both gedit and eye of gnome do, however, take
focus when the same files are access via nautilus.
Here is a video demonstrating the issue: http://youtu.be/8wuObjxofF0
In the video you'll notice that when I open the files for gedit and
eye of gnome via the dash, their windows do not take focus, noted by
the fact that the window border stays colorless, and the global menu
does not display the title of the window. You'll also notice that both
applications behave correctly when the files are accessed via
nautilus. Libreoffice is also shown, so that you can see it only
effects certain applications.
Also, the video does not show it, but opening the applications via the
dash works as expected. In other words, if I launch gedit via the
dash, it takes focus, however, if I open a file, which will open in
gedit, it will not take focus.
To reproduce:
Open a text file via the dash, either by searching and hitting
"enter," or by clicking a recently used file.
