Window losing focus and switching project on build
I'm having a problem to do with an IDEA project window losing focus to another IDEA project window.
For example, I open two projects at once, an SE project which is a Swing app, and an ME project. Basically most times that I build and run the Swing app, the IDEA window loses focus and the other project I have open (the ME one) comes to the front, just as the Swing app opens up. The same happens when running the ME app - as the WTK emulator comes to the front, the ME project window loses focus and the SE window comes to the front.
Noticeably, aside from building, when I close an Editor tab, the whole app flickers, and if it's the last tab to be closed, the window-switch will happen again.
Finally, none of the problems happen if either project has no editor tabs open.
This has started happening since I upgraded to 6.0.3 Beta (builds #6140 and #6112 tested). I'm running XP sp2 with jre 1.5.0_10.
In appreciation of any advice,
Darren

We're having the exact same issue (the entire team) and it is very irritating. I see that this post is very old. Was this resolved in any way?
we're working on Linux (within VNC)

Does it fit your case?
If not, create a new one with a screencast of the issue attached. Thanks.
Seems like using the built-in JDK solved the issue (used Azul before) - thanks!!
