focus problem

[Andreas Höschler]

Hi all,

I am investigating the - well known - focus problem and am currently in

NSApplication.m
=============

- (void)mouseDown:(NSEvent*)theEvent
{
  if ([theEvent clickCount] >= 2)
    {
      /* if not hidden raise windows which are possibly obscured. */

      if ([NSApp isHidden] == NO)
        {
          NSArray *windows = RETAIN(GSOrderedWindows());
          NSWindow *aWin;

        ...

          [NSApp unhide: self]; // <------ shouldn't we activate the 
app here?

          if ([NSApp isActive] == YES)
            {
              if ([NSApp keyWindow] != nil)
                {
                  [[NSApp keyWindow] orderFront: self];
                }
              else if ([NSApp mainWindow] != nil)
                {
                  [[NSApp mainWindow] makeKeyAndOrderFront: self];
                }
              else
                {
                  /* We need give input focus to some window otherwise we'll
                     never get keyboard events. FIXME: doesn't work. */
                  NSWindow *menu_window = [[NSApp mainMenu] window];
                  NSDebugLLog(@"Focus", @"No key on activation - make menu 
key");
		  NSLog(@"Focus No key on activation - make menu key %@", 
menu_window);
		  [GSServerForWindow(menu_window) setinputfocus:[menu_window 
windowNumber]];
                }
            }
        
          RELEASE(windows);
        }

Shouldn't we activate the app in all cases if the user doubleclicked 
the app icon? If the application has no open windows, the "We need give 
input focus to some window" part is called and it indeed does not work. 
Key events go to the previously active application though the etoile 
menu already shows the correct - just activated - application. Has 
anybody a good idea how to fix that?

Regards,
