[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 54127] Re: Certain windows steal focus

[Raptor Ramjet]

Example 1:  Nautilus steals focus when a USB key is inserted.

Steps to reproduce:

1  Start browser, go to favourite search engine, start typing in "search text" box.
2  Insert USB stick.
3  Continue typing in browsers "search ahead" box.
4  Nautilus opens a new window showing contents of USB stick which steals focus.  Keyboard strokes that should be going to browser window are assimilated by Nautilus' "type ahead" function.

Expected behaviour:

1  Nautilus is opened in a background window.

Actual behaviour:

1  Nautilus steals focus.

Reproducible:

1 Always.


Example 2:  Update manager steals focus.

Steps to reproduce:

1  Launch text editor and start typing some text.
2  Launch update manager.
3  Set update manager going to download updates.
4  Return to text editor and continue typing text.
5  At some point update manager will display a dialogue which will steal focus.  If this should happen to be with a prompt then the default action of the prompt will be taken should you press the spacebar (which should be going to text editor)

Expected behaviour:

1 Update manager will stay in the background.  Any dialogues will wait
for the user to manually return focus to the application.

Actual behaviour:

1  Update manager dialogues steal focus and assimilate keystrokes
intended for text editor.

Reproducible:

1 Always.


These are simply the latest two examples but the problem is now endemic in the Gnome desktop.
