when some other window is opened application finder is open in background
*** Bug 13202 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
It only affects me when the other windows is Always on top, is that the case?
Hello, this bug occur with debian + mate. Procedure from tty: (.xinitrc: exec mate-session ) startx Launch xfce4-appfinder ::: yeah it's ok Launch mate-control-center / select keybind settings / modify a keybind / close. ::: now magic mode start. Launch xfce4-appfinder (with a terminal) ::: the focus stay on the terminal, and xfce4-appfinder open behind it. Strangely, this problem doesn't occur with other application (e.g. xterm, xeyes). Useless elements of analysis: ---- Some difference seems to be there with xprop. xfce4-appfinder: _NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION xterm: _NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = mate-keybindings-properties: _NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = ------- _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION have no effect on mate (since i suppose it shall make the panel blink).
@lufhhhh What version of xfce4-appfinder are you running? If not the latest, could you please try 4.13.0? I considered to make xfce4-appfinder start with Always on top (_NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE) set, but it's very annoying and some window managers could ignore it altogether.
@Andre Miranda thanks, it works with the last version.
(In reply to lufhhhh from comment #5) > @Andre Miranda > thanks, it works with the last version. Oops... retested with full procedure. The effect is the same than before.
Does it make any difference if you enable/disable the options (in preferences) "Keep running instance in background" and "Single window"? I installed mate-control-center, but couldn't reproduce the issue, perhaps I didn't understand your instructions. Is there another way to reproduce this bug?
I realized single window behavior was not working as expected, the user had to toggle it in order to it be created in xfconf. I was stupid enough to make it enabled by default in GUI but if it doesn't exist in xfconf consider disabled. Fixed in: https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-appfinder/commit/?id=51b04bbb457814b1357eda6999bdad9eb9c6b4df Well, I think the single window feature solves this bug, always-on-top is no go for me, reopen if you disagree.
