Description Jed Anderson CLA 2002-07-18 16:46:43 EDT 
Eclipse 2.0

If I start Eclipse and while the splash screen is up give focus to another 
application, Eclipse will open without focus, but in front of my other application.  This can be 
frustrating, because sometimes you have to click a few times between Eclipse and the other 
application to get focus & input working again.

I would expect that if I give focus to another 
application, Eclipse will open behind that application, without focus.  Are we doing something 
extra to try and give Eclipse focus/input?

Moving to SWT. UI does not control if a window is opened on top of another 
application.
Comment 2 Jed Anderson CLA 2002-10-24 12:02:12 EDT 
This appears to be fixed in the 2.0.2 1023 build, but not in the current stream.  Was this on 
purpose?
Comment 3 Steve Northover CLA 2002-10-25 09:01:52 EDT 
Nothing has changed in SWT in this area.  There is API (Shell.forceActive() and 
Shell.setActive()) that can be used to force a shell to the front of another 
application.  We don't call it but you might.

Moving back to UI (ping-pong).

There are no plans for the UI team to work on this defect until higher 
priority items are addressed. 
If you would like to work on this defect, please let us know on the platform-
ui-dev mailing list.

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
