85897 - Async window raising is evil

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 77675

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Morten Welinder]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS 5.8 sun4u; en-US; rv:0.9.1+) Gecko/20010610
BuildID:    2001061022

It seems that mozilla likes to raise its windows at
certain times.  That's the domain of the window manager,
not the application.

Specifically, I like to have two or more windows open.
When I have read a page, I might click a link and while
mozilla is loading that page, I bring another page
(or even another application) forward in order to read
that.

Five seconds later, mozilla decides to raise the
first page.  Highly annoying.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
(See above)



Actual Results:  Unwanted windows raised.


Expected Results:  Leave window raise decisions to the window manager.

I agree, this behavior is highly annoying.

I'm pretty sure this is a dup, though.

I'm pretty sure this is it.  [e-mail], please reopen if you disagree.
