Running 14.04.2 here with some of the same issues. I was seeing it with ownCloud client, network manager, and a weather applet known as my- weather-indicator. The issue came up at random, but it was easy to replicate within a matter of 15-20 seconds while continuously navigating around open windows followed by opening applications with system tray icons.
I brought up conversation with some other users who gave me a suggestion that has, so far, worked. Figured I'd post it here in case it can benefit anybody else until the bug can be properly fixed. I ran this in terminal, followed by a log out/log in. dconf write /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/focus-prevention- level 0 This is a similar idea that Rael posted in response 43 above. I seem to recall Ubuntu switching to dconf over gconf at some point. I tested it in my 14.04.2 virtual machine (brand new, but fully updated install) however the gconf key didn't appear to fix the issue, as I was still able to replicate it. In the same VM, that dconf write command above seemed to fix the issue, as I have been unable to replicate it in my VM, nor my main laptop. The default focus-prevention-level is 1, which is considered "low", but appears to be the cause of this random behavior. Setting it to 0 seems to make it consistent. I haven't ran with this change for days/weeks/months, but in my tinkering so far today, the issue hasn't resurfaced a single time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/627195 Title: Window management - Apps raised from indicators sometimes dont have the focus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/627195/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
