Tomboy doesn't open notes from the tray - sends to the launcher

  • 772

When I click on any Tomboy notes listed in Unity tray it sends me to the launcher where the Tomboy icon starts shaking and the note opens only after I click on the icon in the launcher. I need to open it with the single click on the list in the tray, how to do that? Previously I didn't have such problem. Ubuntu 14.04, Unity.

    I've always had this same issue with Tomboy, but lowering the Focus and Raise behavior in CompizConfig fixes it. First install compizconfig-settings-manager:

    sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

    Run it with:

    ccsm

    Then navigate to General / Focus & Raise Behavior.

    By default the Focus Prevention Level is set to Low and Tomboy always opens up behind other windows. If I change it to off, Tomboy opens up in front of other windows.

    This may have other ramifications (other Windows may begin to steal focus, etc). You can set exceptions in this same settings panel.

    Credit to this answer that I used originally to solve this.
