Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome

when a new window is opended or a new tab (in mozilla) by double clicking a web address in a document, the new window is not the focus, it is not raised, but remains hidden behind other windows.

(together with no feedback that something is happening, this leads to repeated clicking on a web address, only to find later that in mozilla 5 tabs are opening...

i hope this is easy to fix!

this is very annoying - one clicks a web address in a mail and seemingly nothing happens (i expect that mozilla appears and opens the web page), after several clicks, i change to mozilla (in the list of open windows at the bottom of the screen) and then i see that i have several tabs in mozilla opening the desired web page). there is no feedback that my click on the web address was recognized...

easy step to recreate the observed behaviour are easy (excuse me for not having responded earlier, i did not see your request before):
go to a mail program (i use balsa, but it occured before, when i was using thunderbird).
open mozilla,
chang to a mailer
select the mail that reports about a bug report.
click on the link to the bug report (https://bugs.... /+index# for example)
mozilla opens the page with the bug reports, but i do not see them.
(because i do not see a reaction, i click again - mozilla opens a second tab with the bug report....)
i have to click in the task list to select mozilla and then i see the open bug report (or 2, 3... as often as i clicked, because i had no feedback)

--
again: the behavior i expect is that when opening a window in mozilla, then mozilla becomes the open window.

--

this is not particular to mozilla, it happens with other programs at well, i will report if i can describe another combination.
