Focus Issues

[Dino Klein]

Hi,

I'm using version 3.0, and I've noticed some focus issues on Windows and Linux. (btw, I'm using JDK 1.5.0_05)

(1) On Window, when Mindterm has the focus, and I hit Alt-Tab quickly (release Alt pretty fast) to switch to another application, Mindterm will grab back the focus; this issue doesn't occour on Linux, and I think it has to do with the menu, since pressing Alt in Windows will get you to the menu, while in Linux it won't. One way to avoid this problem is to hold the Alt key a little longer, as if to give the application some time to "understand" that you really want to switch to another window, and not access the menu.


(2) When using the GUI in Fedora Core, I have access to 4 virtual desktops/workspaces. Assume I have on desktop #1 a Mindterm window and some other window; furthermore, Mindterm is minimized, while the other window is visible and has the focus. I then proceed to switch to desktop #2, and then return to desktop #1. Upon returning, Mindterm will grab the focus, even though it is minimized; the expected behavior is that the application which had the focus, is the one that receives the focus (tested with other apps).
