#137 medit -w => new window is not activated

[Gert Brinkmann]

Hello Yevgen,

as medit 1.x came into debian/sid shortly, I am using medit 1.0.3. now. I had to change the lua-scripts to the new API, but the new API looks much better than the old one.

Regarding this report: Opening a new window while another window already is open, leads into the first window being activated and the new window lays in the background behind the first window. To reproduce this try:

medit foo
medit -w bla

Result: foo has the focus and is in the front. bla is behind foo. It looks as medit opens bla and brings it to front correctly, but after this foo is reactivated again.

Expected result: bla should be the active window in the front and foo should be behind bla.

I am testing this on KDE4.6.4 from debian/sid.

Greetings,
Gert

In fluxbox the new opened window gets focused and to the front correctly. But you see that first the older, existing window gets activated and after this the new window. So maybe there is a way to make it more KDE-compatible by just activating the new window without activating the older window before this?

This is weird, I am doing this in gnome, and old window doesn't get to the front, it stays where it was. E.g. if I have a medit window, and a terminal window on top of it, then "medit -w foo" gets me new medit window on top of terminal, and old window stays under terminal.
