Still happening in Ubuntu 14.04. I'm on Sublime, so I open an app like Chrome and while this app is loading, I'm go back to Sublime and continue to write. So, after a while, Chrome loads, steal the focus and before my brains know it, I'm typing the Sublime text on Chrome, leading to a mess :P
This is very annoying because I open and close apps (or they open dialogs automatically) very often, as well I write very often, and because this random focus steal, I always have to check if I'm writting on the right place, like a paranoid. I'm already developed an ctrl+s like syndrome (you know, the one that you write few words, save, then write more two or three words, save again and so on). I have to write some words, so I stop and check the focus, type more few words, check again, type more few words, ... This is really annoying for all those who have fast fingers and who are hardcore keyboard users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/455241 Title: New windows steal focus Status in Compiz: Triaged Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: compiz In Karmic, new windows from any application are put in foreground even if I interact with another window before they appear. In gconf, I have set "focus_prevention_level" to "2", and I also tried setting it to "4" but it doesn't change anything. I tried opening gedit, then clicking on the launcher for firefox, then going back to gedit, and writing something. When the Firefox window appears, it's put in fullscreen even though I was typing in gedit. I also tried with other apps, and it's always the same behaviour.
