[Bug 39641] New: Notepad++ not coming to front when opening files

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39641

Bug ID: 39641
           Summary: Notepad++ not coming to front when opening files
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

1) Whenever files are opened in Notepad++ (after application is already open),
it opens the file but does not bring the application to the front. You have to
manually click it's taskbar tab to bring it to the front. Hopefully you can
find a way to make it so (so it's similar to Windows)

2) Also, I'm not sure how to reproduce this bug but when notepad++ is open for
a while it becomes weird in the sense you can close a tab properly, can't copy
text or do any regular functions (have to close and reopen to do so). And this
doesn't happen all the time either.

can replicate the issue?

This bug sounds abandoned. We haven't heard from the author of this bug since
opening and the bug report is missing important info how to reproduce the bug
(notepad++ version, wine version). Also none else is complaining about this.

I've apparently got an old version of Notepad++ (6.3.2), but I can confirm OP's
#1 issue. I have not confirmed on windows, however, so take it with a grain of
salt.

To reproduce (assume npp=$(wine notepad++.exe $@)):
$ npp foo1.txt
# open a second terminal window, and let it keep focus
$ npp foo2.txt

notepad++ opens foo2.txt, but does not gain focus at this point. I feel like
I've seen that happen on Windows, but I don't have regular access to Windows so
I can't verify.

wine-2.2

And I see the same in 7.3.2 / wine-2.2.

This bug is fixed in wine-staging, that probably explains why some people
don't experience it any more.

Could you put the patchset and mark it STAGED then, please?

I don't know which exact staged patchset has fixed the bug, just tested
with winehq and wine-staging versions side by side.
