In Xubuntu Lucid, such as:-
1) Focus doesn't return to originating window. Can't type.
Start an application from a terminal window, e.g. play a media file with vlc.
Quit the application.
Focus appears to return to the terminal (title bar highlighted) but subsequent keystrokes are dropped.
Clicking on the terminal window doesn't help. Need to click somewhere else first and then click back onto the app.
2) Notifier breaks focus.
Be typing away happily into some application, editor etc.
Notifier pops up with some important message.
Application appears to retain focus but any further keyboard input is ignored.
Need to click off, click back on the application.
3) Mouse-wheel scroll of background application steals focus.
When it works, this is a luxury feature - the ability to scroll a background window (such as a browser) while editing a document or spreadsheet in the foreground.
Now, however, the background application is brought forward and given focus if a mouse-over scroll action is attempted.
Any suggestions?
