oldbwl · 05-12-2013, 08:27 AM

I am using the latest version of Calibre installed in /opt of Linux Mint 14 - Cinnamon.

If I set Calibre a one or many tasks say convert a dozen books and then load another program whilst it works in the background, I am finding that as soon as Calibre finishes the tasks, freshes the book list etc, it steals the focus and brings Calibre to the top window.

At first I thought the window I was working with had suddenly quit. It was a minute or two before I realised what had actually happened. I can repoduce it at will.

I am not certain if this is down to Linux or Calibre or the DE Cinnamon. I was going to load a different Desktop e.g. Mate to test again, but I thought I would ask here beforehand.

Thanks
