Description Joe Orton 2003-03-05 12:05:58 UTC
Description of problem:
(I have no idea whether this is a bug in gnome-terminal, metacity, or something
else)

I have windows stacked in follow order from front to back:

gnome-terminal A, Mozilla, gnome-terminal B

Terminal A has focus, and I mininize it.  Now terminal B is brought in front of
Mozilla, which is not desired behaviour, surely? 8.0 didn't do this, I'm pretty
sure.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
metacity-2.4.34-3
gnome-terminal-2.2.1-3
vte-0.10.25-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. bring up three windows, terminal, non-terminal, terminal in that order
2. minimize the top terminal
    
Actual results:
Back terminal is brought in front of non-terminal

Expected results:
Non-terminal is left and given focus.

Additional info:
Terminally annoying behaviour.

Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2003-03-05 16:22:51 UTC
There's code where if you close a dialog it tries to focus the parent window 
of the dialog I think, perhaps that code is overzealous. If you run your 
terminals with --disable-factory it probably won't happen (because they won't be 
"in the same app") - perhaps a workaround.
