Sorry, just noticed that this way is better:
	if(activate) {
		if(!this->IsPopUp())
			topwindow->SetWndForeground();
		else
			focusCtrl->SetWndForeground();		
	}

the previous
if(activate)
    topctrl->SetWndForeground();

causes flickering of the window frame, shadows and titlebar.

Sorry once again. I rushed. The above causes menu disappear when trying to select. I will try to investigate deeper - I need to understand more of the logic here. At least now I can work faster because I have ultimate++ theide quite useable in osx11.

So, should I put 

if(activate)
    topctrl->SetWndForeground();


into trunk for now? Is flickering the only problem now?

Could go into trunk for now. I'll try to find out what causes that flickering. I haven't noticed anything else bad.

if(activate && !topctrl->IsPopUp())
		topwindow->SetWndForeground();

no more flickering and menus works well! Smile

Bet I feel (tried a bit...) that now it is possible to optimize (do not use redundant focus change in some cases in the code below that line:
		focusCtrl = _this;
		focusCtrlWnd = topwindow;
		DoKillFocus(pfocusCtrl, _this);
		LLOG("SetFocus 2 - after DoKillFocus");
		DoDeactivate(pfocusCtrl, _this);
		DoSetFocus(pfocusCtrl, _this, activate);
		if(topwindow)
			lastActiveWnd = topwindow;
		return true;

Does this variant work in linux too?

It works in the sense of "compiles and runs". But with this solution theide still comes to foreground when linking is finished. I would prefer some solution that removes that behavior.

I've just discovered that this 
	if(activate && !topctrl->IsPopUp())

		topwindow->SetWndForeground();

doesn't solve all popups. E.g in theide left botton file list popup are still opening under the main window... Sad . I guess because theide immediately activates file contents in the editor window, so the editor steals the focus? I'll try to investigate deeper.

ok, semi-blind fix. I do not know which cases or intentions should be covered with SetWndForeground.. It looks working well on osx11:

	focusCtrl = _this;
	focusCtrlWnd = topwindow;
	DoKillFocus(pfocusCtrl, _this);
	LLOG("SetFocus 2 - after DoKillFocus");
	DoDeactivate(pfocusCtrl, _this);	
	if( !topctrl->IsPopUp() )
		_this->SetWndForeground();
	DoSetFocus(pfocusCtrl, _this, activate);
	if(topwindow)
		lastActiveWnd = topwindow;
	return true;

I just thought that there's no good logic to put ->SetWndForeground before DoDeactivate.
also, I removed if(activate) because that prevented Assist popup getting focus and wheel was not working.

Sounds logical and works well for me on X11.

After compiling theide on OpenBSD, I noticed that it also suffers from this problem and that no fix was commited so far...

Using 
if(activate) topctrl->SetWndForeground();
in SetFocus0() as described above by fudadmin seems to fix it correctly. Could this fix be commited (at least with #ifdef PLATFORM_BSD) ?

I have to admit I am little bit lost about what code change required... Smile

Could you provide complete SetFocus0 please?

I understand, I had trouble finding the fix in this thread as well Smile
bool Ctrl::SetFocus0(bool activate)
{
	GuiLock __;
	if(IsUsrLog())
		UsrLogT(6, String().Cat() << "SETFOCUS " << Desc(this));
	LLOG("Ctrl::SetFocus " << Desc(this));
	LLOG("focusCtrlWnd " << UPP::Name(focusCtrlWnd));
	LLOG("Ctrl::SetFocus0 -> deferredSetFocus = NULL; was: " << UPP::Name(defferedSetFocus));
	defferedSetFocus = NULL;
	if(focusCtrl == this) return true;
	if(!IsOpen() || !IsEnabled() || !IsVisible()) return false;
	Ptr<Ctrl> pfocusCtrl = focusCtrl;
	Ptr<Ctrl> topwindow = GetTopWindow();
	Ptr<Ctrl> topctrl = GetTopCtrl();
	Ptr<Ctrl> _this = this;
	if(!topwindow) topwindow = topctrl;
	LLOG("SetFocus -> SetWndFocus: topwindow = " << UPP::Name(topwindow) << ", focusCtrlWnd = " << UPP::Name(focusCtrlWnd));
	if(!topwindow->HasWndFocus() && !topwindow->SetWndFocus()) return false;// cxl 31.1.2004
	if(activate) topctrl->SetWndForeground(); // <- this line changed
	LLOG("SetFocus -> focusCtrl = this: " << FormatIntHex(this) << ", _this = " << FormatIntHex(~_this) << ", " << UPP::Name(_this));
	focusCtrl = _this;
	focusCtrlWnd = topwindow;
	DoKillFocus(pfocusCtrl, _this);
	LLOG("SetFocus 2");
	DoDeactivate(pfocusCtrl, _this);
	DoSetFocus(pfocusCtrl, _this, activate);
	if(topwindow)
		lastActiveWnd = topwindow;
	return true;
}


Tested on OpenBSD+gcc4.2 and Linux+gcc4.6, seems to work fine on both...

Unfortunately, this patch causes flashing of window titlebar in Win32 when working with menu.

For now, I have used #ifdef PLATFORM_POSIX, but I hope there is some better solution...

Anyway, it needs to be

#ifdef PLATFORM_POSIX
	if(activate) // Dolik/fudadmin 2011-5-1
		topctrl->SetWndForeground();
#else
	topwindow->SetWndForeground();  // cxl 2007-4-27
#endif


I guess the problem is different handling of popups in Win32 vs X11.

I believe the right solution is to change PopUp method, not SetFocus0...

Perhaps something around X11Wnd.cpp line 518...

Maybe adding _NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE too?

_NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE might be a solution for menus, but I'm not sure if it won't cause trouble with popups in general. It might lead to situations where popup stays hanging on screen. I am no X11 expert, but I remember such things happening in past with U++.

I guess that would be another kind of error anyway.

Since last updete (3401 - Arch Linux x86-64) I can also report flashing of window titlebar when working with menus.
