A few more steps: I could reproduce the bug with firefox, Software center and with absolutely any application I tried, under a certain condition, and it's interesting. Try this: - launch firefox and do absolutely nothing with the window. - open nautilus : no bug, it works. - Close nautilus, back to firefox. - Click any dummy place on the firefox window - Open nautilus: here is the bug. Now - close nautilus again, back to firefox. - The focus is on the window but don't click anywhere. - Open nautilus: no bug, it works fine. You can repeat it as many time you want I guess with any application. Therefore, it looks like windows can either just have the focus, and then nautilus can get it too; or they can clutch at their focus if you've started clicking, interacting with them (not with their menus though), and then normal applications can grab the focus from each other anyway, but nautilus can't – maybe because it has a special role, being a process that is always running in the background and hence starting it only brings up a window but does not actually starts anything. In other words, it looks like there are two sorts of “having the focus” in Unity, and nautilus is not adapted to it. But it's only an intuition... As for the LibreOffice windows, they seem to directly pass on to the 2nd “clutching focus” without the need to interact with them. Hope this will help !
