What version of Scribes are you using? scribes -i

Also check to see focus prevention is turned off.

Running *gconftool-2 --type int --set
/apps/compiz/general/screen0/options/focus_prevention_level 0*
Didn't solve the issue - I tried running both as current user, and as root.
Do I need to restart unity for this to take effect?

Thanks

You're using an old version of Scribes. Update to the latest release. You can use my official PPA here.

http://mystilleef.blogspot.com/2010/10/scribes-gets-ubuntu-ppa.html

Please make sure you remove older versions of scribes before you use my PPA.

sudo apt-get purge scribes

Hi

Sorry for the late reply - was out on a business trip.

Even with the update to the latest PPA, and with running the gconf editor,
I still see the same problem.

I'm using an additional alt+tab after using the scribes windows switcher to
get focus to the chosen window.
It works, but it's a bit annoying.

Thanks
