Ubuntu :: Gedit Taglist And Document Focus?

Dec 12, 2010

Back in Ubuntu 6.06 I edited the xhtml.tags.gz XML file to give me a common list of xhtml tags that I use in my everyday web page editing. It was at a time when an xhtml editor was not readily available off-the-shelf.

Gedit came packaged with xhtml.tags.gz and other language taglists, but its alphabetical listing by name of tags and attributes was not helpful to me, so I edited some new tag groups containing tags organized in a way more suitable to myself.

By breaking it down into tag groups that typically didn't require a lot of scrolling to find what I wanted, and by having head tags in one menu and body tags in another, it cut down on having to sort through the hundreds of tags to choose from.

I also created a menu for editing the taglist itself as well as one for when I was writing rich-text email that would be copied into a mailing list program form. It worked flawlessly until a recent update brought with it a new version of gedit. It either was when I upgraded from 8.08 to 9.09 or from 9.09 to 10.04, I don't remember which.

Example of how it works: An example: I click on "body" on the left pane and I would get at the current cursor position this insert:

Debian Multimedia :: Focus Is Trapped And Left Mouse Click Doesn't Transfer Focus?

Aug 9, 2011

I'm hit with a very annoying bug: mouse clicks do not give focus anymore, focus stays trapped and sometimes right clicking the element that last had focus allows the next left click to move focus. I'm running wheezy with kde. Searching the web it I found no solution but it seems my problem is close to what is reported there:e issue: after alt+tab the window decoration changes as if the focus had moved to the new window but it stays trapped in the previous window. Rebooting does not fix the issue.I have nvidia graphics set up with dual screen through the nvidia drivers but this setup has been working good for several months, so I don't think it's related.

Ubuntu :: OpenOffice Does Not Get The Focus After Click On Its Button?

Apr 17, 2010

When I click on the OpenOffice button in my panel, the window comes to the front, but the focus is still on the last window; so clicking on the OpenOffice button again will not minimize it, typing will not key anything into the document, and clicking on the last app's button will minimize that one instead of switching to it. I might also ask the OpenOffice community in case this is an OO issue. I also might need to switch to AbiWord. OO is an annoying application.

Ubuntu :: Focus Follows Mouse With Natty And Gnome2?

Jul 5, 2011

I'm using the ubuntu-classic + compiz desktop with 11.04. However, compared to older versions the behaviour of focus-follows-mouse seems to have changed for the worse when using the keyboard to switch applications. In older versions, an app selected using alt-tab or scale or similar keyboard method would get focus, even if the mouse was not over it. Focus follows-mouse behaviour would only happen again if you moved the mouse to a new app. In 11.04, the app selected using alt-tab immediately loses focus if the mouse is not over it. This makes alt-tab kinda useless Is there any way I can fix this behaviour to the pre-11.04 version?

Ubuntu :: Unity: Maximized Window Not In Focus?

Aug 5, 2011

Using Natty 11.04. Often when maximizing an application from the launcher or opening them from the indicator area the application will have focus but will be behind the application I had open before. So if I would then close the window I see I actually close the application I had just opened as the menu area is for the new application.Example.

I am browsing using Firefox. I open X-Chat from the indicator area. I still see Firefox. I decide to close Firefox (or minimize) to get to X-Chat. All I end up in doing is closing (or minimizing) X-Chat because it had focus, the menu at the top was for X-Chat and not Firefox.This has had me launch and close many applications in error. The annoyance factor for this is ten.(Searched the forum but not being sure what the best search words for this issue would be I didn't find anything relevant)

Ubuntu :: Stop Apps From Stealing Window Focus?

Jun 30, 2010

I have found a couple of posts complaining about this problem but none offering solutions. In a nutshell, I want to prevent ALL programs from creating new windows that steal the keyboard focus away from whatever window I was just using. The most common offender is Synaptic when running updates/installs. I will be typing an email, playing a game, whatever, and all of a sudden a new window will pop up, steal focus, and if I'm not paying enough attention, whatever I'm typing will interact with it and cancel something or say yes to something before I even realize it. Another really bad offender is Firefox with the dialogs to accept cookies or entering/leaving a secure website. I still want all of those dialog boxes to appear but I don't want them to automatically steal focus from my other applications. Another user suggested having them blink in the task bar and I like that well enough if it is possible.

Is there a way to lock the focus to the active program/window unless the end user switches it away (i.e. no stealing)?

One post said something about window rules but gave no details. A lot of posts talk about the mouse cursor position selecting the window option (which I do not want and would not fix this problem anyway). One post said it was fixed in Feisty (guess it came back...)

Ubuntu :: Window Focus Does Not Work In Mozilla Thunderbird

Aug 19, 2010

i have ubuntu 10.04 installed and i haven't touched anything apparently relevant in its configuration. many times, when an application opens a new window and this should receive focus, it doesn't. for example, i'm in mozilla thunderbird and i click on "write" to write a new message, and i keep waiting, "why does it take so much to open???" - until i realised that the new message window was immediately opened but it didn't get focus, it is just blinking (in a barely pereivable way) in the panel on the bottom and i have to click on it to give it focus. it is not just thunderbird - just about any program, but not always. sometimes the same happens when switching some flash player web application to fullscreen mode (such as videos or megavideo): the full screen does not appear, i have to click on the icon on the panel on the bottom.

sometimes, even more weired behaviour are observed. for example, let's suppose i have windows a, b and c open and none of them is minimized. i'll call "icon" a window's button on the bottom panel. i click alternatively on icons of windows a, b, c, a, b, c and so on. expected: every time i click on a window's icon, the window should get focus and be brought to the front. observed: when i get to window a, it toggles its state from open to minimized and viceversa, that is, when i switch from c to a, it does as if i was already on a, so instead of bringing it to front, it minimizes it; then next time i come back to a, it gets restored.

Ubuntu :: Application In Focus Move When Changing Workspace?

Just installed a new computer with ubuntu 10.10. I assign shortkey alt+1 to move workspace left and alt+2 to move workspace right.When I move workspace the focus application move with me to the new workspace.

After sometime with this new "feature/bug" I got application all over the place.1) How do I turn this off?2) How do I enable dragging application from one workspace to another.

OpenSUSE :: KDE Freezes When Changing Focus?

May 25, 2011

KDE has been randomly freezing/stalling when changing window focus, opening, or closing programs. It does not seem to be restricted to any particular programs. If I change focus by clicking in a new window, often, when the system comes out of it's frozen state, the mouse is still in a button down state even though I've released the click.No errors are generated in /var/log/messages or in ~/.xsession-errors.I'm running 11.3 and here's the output of uname -a:

Code:
Linux dan-desktop 2.6.34.8-0.2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2011-04-06 18:11:26 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
