Description of problem: OpenOffice.org Calc steals focus a couple of times during startup when a file name is passed as an argument on the command line. Because loading a large file takes a considerable amount of time one can easily see this happening. Clicking another window during this process to refocus and continue typing is dangerous because when OOo steals focus one is actually typing in the spreadsheet. This can lead to inadvertant data loss. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-calc-2.0.1-143.2.1 metacity-2.12.1-1
Funnilly enough I was looking at this issue recently and patched OOo to reduce this problem. So should be much improved with 2.0.1.1-5.2
Honestly, I don't agree with that. If you minimize OOo during startup, it will still unminimize unwantedly and steal focus. Version details: openoffice.org-calc-2.0.4-5.5.10 compiz-0.0.13-0.32.20060817git.fc6
yeah, I improved things, and then they dis-improved. It's a tricky problem, but for 2.2.0 we believe that it's going to be sorted out. http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=19976 So I have high hopes for 2.2.0 in FC-7 squashing this finally.
