Description Amit Shah 2012-08-17 03:23:28 UTC

The orig. bug was against gnome-panel, but gnome-shell has a similar behaviour: open a few evince documents, a firefox window, some terminals, and logout (with session save/restore enabled).  Upon re-login, the alt+tab behaviour is weird till the time all the evince and firefox windows are given focus at least once.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #652664 +++

Description of problem:

1. Open firefox in Workspace 1
2. Open email app in Workspace 2
3. Click on 'open link' on any link in Workspace 2
4. Link should get opened in the already-open firefox on Workspace 1, causing a flashing firefox icon in the panel in Workspace 2.
5. Open a new app (any app, doesn't matter which) in Workspace 2.
6. Use Alt+Tab to switch to mail window.  Doesn't work as the firefox icon gets counted among apps to switch to.  (Also, releasing the alt button to switch to firefox window doesn't work as well, since it's on a different workspace).

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-12-21 08:41:29 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '18'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be 
able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2014-02-05 12:04:38 UTC

Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
