In almost all cases, if you are typing into one application in Fedora, and a window pops up from another application and steals away your focus, and your typing goes to the wrong place, that's a bug that should be filed against one of: - The application that popped up a window - The application that you are typing into - The window manager With the most likely candidate being the first one. If you run into such problems and you are using GNOME with Metacity (or gnome-shell and Mutter), please feel free to file bugs against Metacity and I'll help you figure out where they should be reassigned. There are also a number of GConf options for Metacity that can be set to modify the exact behavior; these are mostly, however, intended as workarounds for people using closed source applications that can't be fixed properly. When all the applications are under our control, it should "just work". - Owen -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
