| New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | sharkbait72 | 2/10/12 4:19 AM | Google Chrome version 17.0.963.46 m : Windows 7 : No extensions As far as I'm aware, this has only started on the latest update. If Chrome is already open, when I open a new window of Chrome from a shortcut in the quick launch area of my Windows too |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | shocker-z | 2/21/12 2:12 AM | I also have this issue, not sure what date it started but it's definitely happening to me too, and so irritating when you're so used to just typing as soon as the new window is launched. However, I uninstalled chrome and then downloaded and installe |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | sharkbait72 | 2/21/12 2:30 AM | Thanks for your suggestion, I tried removing Chrome and re-installing, then changed settings to new tab but the problem remains, when a Browser window already has focus, the new one will not take focus, so whether it is a new tab, page or whatever, t |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | shocker-z | 2/21/12 2:32 AM | Oh yes, you're right! it still has same issue for me, think i pounced on that solution and testing a tad quick.. It's fixed it for first open windows but like you say, once a window is already open, there isn't any focus on the new window. I'm sure |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | shocker-z | 2/21/12 2:33 AM | Just to add, that my focus doesn't stay on previous window, it simple has no focus on any object. e.g. if you click reply box on here, then open new window and type, it doesn't type within the reply box. |

| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | JJInnSoft | 2/24/12 8:00 AM | I have this problem too. I've seen it happen on: 1. My Windows 7 64-bit computer at work (a custom-built PC with a clean install of Windows; when middle-clicking Chrome icon on taskbar) 2. My personal Windows 7 64-bit Lenovo laptop (when middle-cl |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | npelov | 3/1/12 2:38 AM | The problem still exists in 17.0.963.56. If a chrome window is currently in focus and I click on quick launch icon the new chrome window becomes visible, but it doesn't have keyboard focus - I see cursor blinking in address bar, but typing doesn't w |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | shocker-z | 3/1/12 7:14 AM | seems to be working for me now, sometimes takes a second to focus though, if I start typing before then doesn't get/keep focus but if i open and leave a second (literally) it works fine |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | Poish | 3/6/12 8:22 AM | I'm having the same problems, No focus on new chrome windows, they open behind programs, etc. I've uninstalled Chrome and installed the latest version and it keeps doing it. It's absurd that I've seen so many threads about this problem and not even o |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | mfghazi | 3/6/12 2:39 PM | I just installed "17.0.963.66 m" and this still happens. Chrome had a similar issue but that was a while ago. This annoying one started 2-3 weeks ago. If I look closely, I'll know that the focus stays on quick launch, not on the browser's address ba |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | vimukthilk | 3/7/12 5:00 AM | Same issue here. However, I've noticed something else not mentioned so far. If you open a new Chrome window and start typing but DO NOT press return, and leaving what you've just typed as it is, open a new Chrome window and start typing (again in th |

| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | danschanaker | 3/8/12 11:11 AM | Same problem for me, running 17.0.963.78 m. As mentioned before, if I wait about 5 seconds after opening a new window, then I can type into Google (my home page) and it works. I noticed that 5 seconds after opening Google, the bottom left corner sa |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | mikem77 | 3/14/12 6:16 AM | This is so annoying - have begun switching back to firefox as its beginning to cause a lot of problems. |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | ydeydier | 3/24/12 6:03 AM | Same problem for me, with 17.0.963.83 ! I fell stupid typing on my keyboard, the time that I realise that nothing is happening on screen... Yann |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | davros303 | 4/5/12 2:42 AM | Same here - on version 18.0.1025.142 m I was using Chrome for many months and this wasn't happening. Just started for no reason I can yet identify. |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | Andrew Boff | 4/9/12 4:20 PM | I shut down the chrome frame support task which seemed to resolve the problem. |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | JeffLamour | 4/13/12 10:24 AM | This is my symptom as well, however I agree with shocker-z that there is no focus for me at all on any window when I open a new chrome window. If I press alt-f4 after new chrome window comes up I get the shutdown/hibernate window instead of just clo |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | JeffLamour | 4/13/12 11:26 AM | After a bit more testing I see that focus actually stays on the taskbar. If you turn on autohide you will notice that the taskbar does not go away after the new chrome window loads and the new window does not receive focus. If you press the applica |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | wittynamehere | 4/14/12 9:35 AM | I've noticed this only happens when the browser is maximized. When the original window is not maximized, the new window gains focus as expected whether launched from the task bar or through the start menu. New windows launched with Ctrl+N also behav |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | PhilmanCJ | 4/17/12 6:39 AM | I can confirm this, if the window opens full screen the focus is still on the taskbar. Otherwise the focus is fine. -Windows 7 Pro 64bit |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | Nicolai Clemmensen | 4/23/12 11:28 AM | I had this issue too, which is why I ended up in this discussion ;) For me, the problem was a third-party app, used to scroll in inactive windows, called WizMouse. Try deactivating any additional applications you may have running, to see if this is t |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | 1299 | 5/9/12 2:57 AM | FIX THIS ALREADY! I'm being having problems with this for more then 6 months now. The feedback from GOOGLE on various issues (including problems with Android) is nothing short of pathetic. Google makes great products but their support is non existing |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | PhilmanCJ | 5/9/12 9:11 AM | I just found that Dexpot was causing the issue. If I turned it off chrome worked fine. I do not know why yet. |
| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | AvalonNYC | 5/18/12 2:25 PM | Agree. Back to Firefox for me. I open windows all the time from the start menu or taskbar, and this change is a major annoyance. I was already getting pretty annoyed that there's no native way to have Chrome warn I close a window with several tab |

| Re: New Chrome Window not focussing if another Chrome Window already open | mjaning | 5/30/12 1:29 PM | I just found the origins of the GChrome Bug and developed a way how to bypass it. By naming the pop windows differently you can open a new window on Chrome and maintaining focus in the new pop window. See the attached file which contains small sample |
