If a new Firefox is started it opens under the Wireshark window, which makes sense since Wireshark has the focus.
If I click on something, I expect it to be up front. If I want to remain in the previous app, then clicking on it should keep me there.
Again, this is not consistent. Something is flakey somewhere. The desktop was originally click to focus. However, there were issues with it, so I changed the setting. I've set it back again, so I'll have to see how it goes.
i remember seeing discussions about this on one of the GIMP mailing lists. when using GIMP in multi-window mode (used to be the only one, prior to 2.7 & 2.8), the auxiliary windows are treated differently by different desktop environments. i think there's also a freedesktop.org standard re. this, application windows, tool windows (or whatever they're called), and then there's window hints, and what not. KDE & GNOME handle some of these things differently, perhaps others too, so there's ample room for confusion and unpredictable behavior. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
