I could be wrong, but I have a feeling it's something about TM that's stealing focus back.
When you switch to an application, the system will notify the application that it will go to front, this is where TextMate check file dates, when the application returns from this method THEN will the system bring the window to front -- so if the user switched away before TextMate completed the checks, the described behavior will occur.
You can fault TextMate for not performing this check in a thread or similar, but it doesn't deliberately steal focus! ;)
Thanks for the clarification Allan...I know you're busy, but maybe you can put that on the bug list? I know it would drive me crazy to have TM keep "stealing" the focus back. Luckily it hasn't affected me yet.
This would get automagically fixed when Allan implements threading for that filesystem check (which I recall was on the roadmap already). -- Jonathan Chaffer Applications Developer, structure:interactive (616) 364-7423 http://www.structureinteractive.com/
