Trigger something to load things in another tab which later pops up some dialog (like an htauth dialog), then switch to another workspace ... and BAM, you're in the middle of typing and firefox has stolen focus. Helps if you're on a slow network so you have time to really get into your work on the other window before the theft happens. I had thought this was a consequence some non-standard window manager configuration I had... it drives me nuts but I've never seemed to be able to find the cause. If you'd like to try it out... go to http://www.pagetutor.com/keeper/http_authentication/index.html middle click the secret stuff link and then quickly (via the keyboard) switch to another workspace. (quickly is only required if your network is fast and the site is fast... I've had firefox steal focus many minutes after I last interacted with it) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
