Dialog focus management

[eyryve]

Hello,

When a dialog from eclipse appears, the screen switch to eclipse while i am writing in other application (A) on an other screen. This make losing my work on (A).
There's no reason for eclipse to acquire the focus to display a dialog box or no other reason. This is the role of the window manager.

regards.

IMO, Eclipse has nothing to do with it. It is indeed a job of window manager and they define if a new window should receive a focus. Most modern desktop environment decided not to move focus without explicit user request.

Please add name and version of your desktop environment and actual steps to reproduce the problem (current description lacks the type, timing and source of a dialog).

Hello. Only SWT (as eclipse) application work like this. All other app do not have this problem. For information, i use KDE5 (plasma/X11) on debian12. The focus follow the mouse. The step to reproduce. It's simple. - Open 2 eclipse window  with some overlap. mouse the mouse from one window to other. when the mouse pass on the other window, this window move forward. - Open eclipse window on desktop 2. Start one action like "git compare". Move to desktop 1. When the dialog appears, the desktop change to desktop 2 without user action.
