[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#261414: lyx: Dialogues like Find & Replace or Document -> Settings do not receive focus

[Axel K. Stammler]

Package: lyx
Version: 1.5.4-1~emiscabpo40+1
Followup-For: Bug #261414

These windows only receive the focus if they appear under the mouse
pointer by coincidence. If I switch windows they receive the focus but
(obviously) my mouse pointer gets moved. Then, when I am done e.g.
finding and replacing, I close the window using the Escape key (all
this works well), but the my mouse pointer has been moved outside the
main Lyx window, so it in turn does not have focus, forcing my to
switch back to it manually.

Very annoying if you need to use Find & Replace or Table Settings etc.
more than once, so it is not a nice-to-have feature but an annoying
bug which has been around for very long.
