Description Milan Crha 2019-05-27 21:16:21 UTC

Steps:
a) open a terminal with Applications->System Tools->MATE Terminal
b) use mouse to run: Applications->Programming->Devhelp
   - notice the opened window has focus and the user can interact with it, as expected
c) close the Devhel window; the terminal window from a) gains focus
d) use keyboard to run Devehelp from Applications->Programming->Devhelp,
   thus something like: Alt+F1, arrow up, P, D (maybe more times, if
   the Programming menu has more items starting with 'D'), Enter

Actual result:
The Devhelp window opens in background, the terminal has still the focus.

Expected result:
The just opened Devhelp gains focus even when run using keyboard.

This is not about Devhelp, I can reproduce it with a terminal, or calculator,... as well.

Installed is mate-session-manager-1.22.1-1.fc30.x86_64

Maybe this helps to relieve your pain :)
Koji scratch build with suggestion from upstream adopted to match 1.22.

Please test.

A quick test shows that the test build mate-panel-1.22.1-3.fc30 works fine here, the devhelp window is focused after it is run as expected, both using mouse and keyboard. Thanks.

Good, than author of patch can be done a PR at upstream.
