3.31.92: Applications launched from gnome-shell don't have window focus on Xorg
Gnome-shell version: 3.31.92
Distro: Ubuntu 19.04
In gnome 3.32 (under a xorg session), I see that many applications do not gain window focus when they are opened. For example, I can re-create the following 100% of the time:
-
Login to a fresh gnome (xorg) session
-
hit the super key to open the gnome-shell overview
-
search for gnome-terminal
-
hit enter to launch gnome-terminal
The terminal opens, but the window is not focused (you need to click the window to get focus)
Other applications I can re-create this issue with:
Nautilus
Gnome-system-monitor
Gnome-logs
NOTE: This only happens in the Xorg session. Under wayland, the applications do get focus
NOTE: If I launch any of these applications from a terminal, instead of through gnome-shell, they do get focus
NOTE: This only seems to happen when the applications are launched from the 1st workspace. If I open some application in the 1st workspace, and then switch to a second workspace and launch any of these applications (in the second workspace), they do get focus.
Applications that I do NOT see the issue with:
Gedit
Gnome-calendar
NOTE: I have all gnome-extensions disabled, and am running a vanilla gnome-session (so I do not have ubuntu's default gnome extensions enabled either)
