Description Robert Charbonneau 2015-05-23 06:49:01 UTC 
The JetBrains IDE _Ruby_Mine_ and Oracle's NetBeans are Swing apps that do not like to take focus when you switch to a desktop they're running on.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install NetBeans (https://netbeans.org/downloads/) or RubyMine [30 Day Trial] (https://www.jetbrains.com/ruby/download/)
2. Run NetBeans or RubyMine
3. Move to another desktop
4. Switch back to the desktop running NetBeans or RubyMine

Actual Results:  
The window will not take focus, you have to Alt+Tab (or your custom binding) to the window, or click it to take focus, in order for the window to focus.

Expected Results:  
If there is only one window running on that desktop, and if it's not minimized, the window manager should *always* give it focus.

This does not seem to happen with the Java Console (jcontrol)
