Right. Thats what I meant. The RH bugzilla on this issue is
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186308
Great. This makes me very happy. Even using Eclipse is a pain
with this "feature". Every time you check stuff in, Eclipse
opens a dialog for the changelog. Well, this dialog doesn't
have the focus, requiring me to do yet another action to bring
in focus before I can type! Nothing to do with terminals BTW.
Can't say I love this option but it works for me. There are
people who
do actually prefer the new option like LWN's editor Jonathan Corbet (
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2006-
February/msg00086.html) for example. Not a surprise since the original
motivation for this new behavior seems to a article on that website. I
can't find it now.
Well, yeah. But his motivation is mainly that apps are slow to load.
The fix is to make them faster, not allow people to do something for
6 more secs until they start. It's just the wrong fix. And besides,
what can you do meaningfully in a few secs? This actually _extends_
the time significantly as it will take you a few seconds to manually
regain focus.
Anyway, thanks for the info. Help is on the way! :)
