View Full Version : [ubuntu] Unity: maximized window not in focus

Hi,

Using Natty 11.04. Often when maximizing an application from the launcher or opening them from the indicator area the application will have focus but will be behind the application I had open before. So if I would then close the window I see I actually close the application I had just opened as the menu area is for the new application.

Example.

I am browsing using Firefox. I open X-Chat from the indicator area. I still see Firefox. I decide to close Firefox (or minimize) to get to X-Chat. All I end up in doing is closing (or minimizing) X-Chat because it had focus, the menu at the top was for X-Chat and not Firefox.

This has had me launch and close many applications in error. The annoyance factor for this is ten.

(Searched the forum but not being sure what the best search words for this issue would be I didn't find anything relevant)

It's been bugged, but no-one paying any attention to it :(

That's better than it was this morning! May be someone taking a look into it?
