It's not consistent. That's why I said "often". There is a setting in Personal Settings for Window Behaviour. At someone's advice here, I changed it to "Focus follows mouse", but it didn't do much.
that was me, mentioning "focus follows mouse," but i neither use nor recommend it; i find it rather confusing.
+1. "don't do that, then"
i expect the focus to remain ideally where i want or expect it, but if that's not the case for some reason, at least where it's at -- not follow the mouse all over the place. i often do things like hovering over taskbar icons or the clock, and having the focus following all that would drive me mad.
I tried it once ... never again!
To each his own. I have both focus follows mouse and autoraise turned on and have since early KDE days. In fact, I think I used to with OS/2 also. That is one thing that I *really* miss when I'm forced to use Windoze at work...I've become so used to it, it is second nature now to expect that when I point to something that it will "step forward and be ready for instructions". :-) -- ========================================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ========================================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
