As noted in bug 1034811, this focus stealing also occurs for Alt key combinations such as Alt-PgUp/PgDn.
This is a problem as an application may interpret the loss of focus as an intentional action by the user. For an example, see https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1624. Disabling/changing the HUD shortcut key as per comment #6 works as a workaround, but is hardly going to be found by users who will instead consider the application to be "broken" in its behaviour. ** Bug watch added: bugzilla.instantbird.org/ #1624 https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1624 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971462 Title: When HUD is enabled, AltGr/Compose still causes focus stealing from the widget To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/971462/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
