This +is because when a user activates a window that is a transient, its +ancestor(s) should be considered to be more recently used than other +windows that have had the keyboard focus more recently. (See bug +157360; this may mean that the alt-tab order should also change +simultaneously, although the current implementation does not do that.) + Also, sometimes a new window will be mapped (e.g. unminimizing a window or launching a new application). Most users want to interact with new windows right away, so these should typically be focused. |
