I posted this to the openSuSE list, but got no response and I googled to no avail, so I am trying here, maybe someone can help. I upgraded my SuSE Pro 10.0 to 10.1 with the non-oss-DVD that I downloaded from the openSUSE site. (I am still waiting for SUSE Pro 10.1 to reach South Africa) I use GNOME as desktop. Now I have an over-eager OpenOffice. When you open a document with OpenOffice, it keeps on popping up to the top of the focus stack and it will even move itself to the current focussed desktop from another desktop. It seems that it detects some change every 200 milliseconds or so. Even using a drop-down list in OpenOffice is very difficult. If you scroll down the open list too long, it close the list. You have to open the drop-down list, move quickly to the item you want and click, otherwise your list is closed. Opening a dialogue in OpenOffice will keep the dialogue on top, but I can see in the window border that the focus keeps on reverting to the main window behind. Using another application while an OpenOffice document is open is extremely annoying, as the OpenOffice doc keeps on grabbing the focus. For instance, typing something in another application. You type two characters and then you are suddenly typing in the OpenOffice doc. So, to type something in the other application, you type two characters then click on your application to get focus back, type another two characters, click, type, click, etc. Has anybody seen this behaviour? Any ideas what this can be? I already tried playing with the focus-follow-mouse settings in GNOME, but it makes no difference.
