I did some other tests using "Always on Top" feature. 1 - Open Gimp on multi window mode 2 - Open a terminal 3 - Set the terminal as always on top 4 - Go back to Gimp and press Ctrl + O (Open dialog) 5 - Press Esc
Now focus goes sometimes to Gimp main window, but keep doing opening and closing the dialog and eventually it always goes to the "always on top" terminal. 1 - Open Gimp on multi window mode 2 - Open two dock windows (if you there is none already) 3 - Let's say you have Layers and Toolbox windows open. Move the Toolbox over the Layers window. 4 - Click on the main window. 5 - Press Ctrl + O (Open dialog) 6 - Press Esc Focus goes to the Toolbox window 7 - Move the Layers window over the Toolbox window, so it gets on front of it. 8 - Click on the main window. 9 - Press Ctrl + O (Open dialog) 10 - Press Esc Focus goes to the Layers window. So, considering all the tests I made, it seems that when you close any window, the window manager chooses to focus the most on top window even if this window is from another application, which is hardly ever the expected result. I would expect to always focus on the last window. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. Matching subscriptions: dx-packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1459671 Title: focus goes to the wrong window after a modal dialog is closed Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Steps to reproduce on Ubuntu 15.04: 1 - Install eclipse with "apt-get install eclipse" 2 - Start eclipse 3 - Create a new project 4 - Create a file in the newly created project 5 - Detach any view (the task view , for example) 6 - Open the created file, or just focus on its editor 7 - Open any modal dialog (resources dialog for example (ctrl + shift + r)) 8 - Close the dialog (ESC) Expected: - Focus goes back to the main window. What happens: - Focus goes to the detached view. I think this is a unity bug because I did the same test under Fedora 22 (Gnome 3), Lubuntu and Kubuntu and all of them presented the expected behaviour. Also, while I was editing some screenshots using gimp in multi window mode, something even stranger happened: After doing step 8 on eclipse, the focus did not even go to eclipse, it went to one of the gimp windows. Also I tried to disable all compiz plugins that unity does not depend on, but the behaviour kept the same.
