Lose focus when IDEA windows is opening

Open nlpsuge opened this issue 5 years ago • 7 comments

the version of Guake that I'm using 3.6.3

Describe the bug Guake will lose focus when IDEA windows is opening.

If lose focus, I'm probably typing some letters into the editor of IDEA or just cancel the opening dialog because of pressing Enter/Space.

Expected behavior The opening procedure of IDEA or other apps should not lead the Guake to lose focus.

Actual behavior Guake will lose focus when IDEA windows is opening.

To Reproduce

  • Open the IDEA
  • Type continuous in the Guake
  • Guake will lose focus, you will type into IDEA

Please run $ guake --support, and paste the results here. Don't put backticks (`) around it! The output already contains Markdown formatting. And make sure you run the command OUTSIDE the Guake.

$ guake --support

I can only reproduce this when I'm:

  1. Focus on guake
  2. Start IDEA
  3. Typing inside guake
  4. IDEA bump out day-tips dialog

Then at step 4, guake lost the focus, the focus is then on day-tips dialog. Is this your situation?

In my case, it seems that opening IDEA windows lead Guake to lose focus. Because I always just type into editable area of IDEA.

Maybe you can try to open multiple windows then exist IDEA. Open IDEA again, IDEA will reopen all the previous opening windows.

Hi, I confirm that this loading window can also lead Guake to lose focus.

After some goolge-fu with "steal window focus linux", it seems more relative to this problem.

For me it's even more apparent with Postman, it will steal focus multiple time during launch.

I don't this it's Guake bug but rather window manager or the app.

There is a long-standing issue for all IntelliJ-based IDEs. They all tend to steal focus on startup.

Does the lazy lose focus option introduced by #1892 resolve this for you?
