I tried turning off the compositor and playing with ICCCM focus hinting and focus stealing prevention to no avail.

I might have those turned off, I'll look when I get a chance.

RemyJ:
There's an option for that?  The only one I can find is Tree & View / List / Show track info tooltips which I have turned off.


EDIT:  The behavior goes away if the window manager "Automatically give focus to newly created windows" option is turned off.  That doesn't work well for the rest of the system though. :)

I thought it was the track info tooltips, I see that bubble now. I'd guess that the system is giving the focus to the created bubble but when we create that bubble we store focus and return it to the parent when the bubble goes away which I assume is where the problem occurs. The Window Manager really shouldn't be messing around with an applications control of focus within the application.

RemyJ:
What exactly are the "track info tooltips" listed under "Tree & View" / "List"?  I can't seem to find what it controls.  I always get a tooltip when I hover over a track in the list view or an entry in the tree regardless of that setting.

Can you add an option to suppress all the tooltips or maybe more options to suppress various ones?

Edit:  What's General / Interface / Show on screen instructions do?

You have to restart MC before that setting is re-read.
It does control the box that pops up with all of the information about the tracks

Perhaps, I'll ask Matt.

No idea. Might be a windows only thing...
