This issue is still creating problems for me.
The issue has improved somewhat since making the Registry setting change, but it hasn't gone away.
Is it possible to file a bug-report with Microsoft about this issue? Doesn't this bother other users? This issue is so bad I find using Windows a major pain because I'm constantly having to get the window to have focus before I can do anything with it.
Any advice you have I'd be thankful for :)
I realise this is an old thread, however a search reveals no other threads about this exact issue (although, there are plenty of threads related to similar issues regarding stealing of focus - but not this exact issue).
So the problem is exactly as UsernameIssues above has explained it - when clicking in the taskbar to launch an application, the taskbar becomes the last thing to have focus, and therefore when closing the window that was opened from the taskbar, the taskbar grabs focus, since the taskbar is the last thing to have focus.
The taskbar should not be grabbing focus, there is literally no reason why the taskbar needs to have focus. Focus should be handed to the last window that had focus!.
So, is there any way to completely obliterate the stupid taskbar from having focus? Perhaps some registry setting that disables the taskbar from ever getting focus?
