xfwm 4.4.1 gives focus to firefox when quick find bar disappears
Status:
RESOLVED: FIXED

Description dgulotta 2007-12-02 20:02:54 CET
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.10) Gecko/20071201 Firefox/2.0.0.10
Build Identifier: 

If I am using xfwm 4.4.1, and I do a Quick Find ("Search for text when I
start typing") in Firefox, and then I switch to a different window, Firefox
regains focus after the Quick Find bar disappears.  This can be annoying, since
if I am typing then Firefox will open the Quick Find bar again.  Enabling focus stealing prevention does not fix the problem.

This does not happen with twm or mwm.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable "Search for text when I start typing" in Firefox
2. Type something
3. Switch to another window
4. Wait for the Quick Find bar to close
Actual Results:  
Firefox regains focus

Expected Results:  
Firefox does not regain focus

This issue still happens in 4.4.2.
Comment 2 Olivier Fourdan editbugs 2007-12-11 22:31:29 CET
This a dup of Bug #3401

Firefox raises its own window when closing the quick search bar and xfwm4 gives focus to the window that raises itself.

I see no bug in xfwm4 here.

KDE has its own fix to prevent Firefox focus stealing, why Xfce can't have it?

Dunno. did you try with a recent version of Xfce (that bug was filed against xfce 4.4)? Did you try with the focus stealing prevention active in xfce? Or maybe kde fits your need better?

I have Xfce/Xfwm 4.6.1 and behavior of Firefox is still the same - leaving something in Quick Search bar and switching eg to Terminal make Firefox steal focus when QS bar becomes empty.
Tips found on the Internets didn't help.

Not here. Again, did you enable focus stealing prevention in xfwm4 wm-tweaks and "Do nothing" when an application raises itself?

Oh right, on 4.6 it does... Must be something I fixes since 4.6 was released then.
