Lot of focus issues with Unity 11.10

Asked by delance

I use Firefox to download torrent files.
At end of download, it raise application Ktorrent.
I go back to Firefox and redo.
After some time, I can raise one of the two application, but this one can't get focus.
I have same issue with other application.
Only solution is to kill application which is unable to get focus.

Please can you tell me step by step what are you doing when you have this problem?
Maybe it's a bug of Unity. Unfortunately it has so many bugs about focus on windows, like this:

I guess for torrent download it is better for you to use qBittorent, this version is similar to Azureus in Windows. However, I find it better in the sense that it has a search engine that searches all torrent sites for your and lists the highest seed as top most of the search result. The method you use is kind of ok but this once you use, you will find more easier and reasonable to use. Just don't expect the gui to be so good but the functionality it provides serves the purpose you want.

I'm sorry but I can't help you because I think it's a bug. I've see the comment on the bug, but I suggest you to open another bug with a more specific title. In the first message you say that this problem are for other applications too, I suggest you to write this too in the new bug, with what applications are.
