How are you launching runemacs.exe? Windows has focus stealing prevention. Please review the rules for SetForegroundWindow on MSDN and see whether your use case satisfies the conditions mentioned for bringing a window to the fore.

IIRC, if the conditions are not met, the taskbar button that corresponds to the Emacs frame should flash. Andrew, do you see this happening when you launch Emacs? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Emacs launches behind the > terminal, like it's hiding from me. Then perhaps you made some local changes on those Windows systems, which modify the way the windows are managed. I've never seen such a problem in years. What happens if you invoke Emacs in some other way, like type "runemacs RET" on the cmd command line or from the Start->Run dialog, or click on a desktop shortcut to runemacs? What happens when you invoke emacs.exe instead of runemacs.exe? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

No. But I tried that now, and I still cannot reproduce the problem. What version of msysgit do you have installed? Also, what do the following 2 commands produce inside Emacs? M-: system-configuration RET M-: system-configuration-options RET > I've been running Emacs as follows: > > Start -> Run -> gb -> runemacs <file|dir> RET > "gb.bat" is a straightforward script to start a Git Bash terminal. Please show the contents of that batch file. Please also try the other methods I mentioned of launching runemacs, and see if the problem persists then. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

I cannot reproduce this on my Windows 8 computer. I'm confused. The original report said: This occurs in Windows XP up to Windows 8, with Emacs v24.2.1. I though this meant you see this on XP, Windows 7, and Windows 8. Did I misunderstand? I don't have access to Windows 8, but since you say the problem doesn't exist there, that's not important. > I thought you would be curious about the gb.bat, in case it caused > conflicts. The contents of gb.bat are: > > sh --login -i That's what I have in the Properties of the desktop icon that opens the MsysGit Bash terminal window on my XP system. So we do the same thing to start the shell. And I cannot reproduce the problem even when I invoke runemacs from MsysGit Bash. > That's it. And I use it at work and at home. I repeat, the problem appears > to be limited to Windows XP. Can you please answer my other questions: . What version of MsysGit do you have installed on XP? . Does the problem happen when you invoke "runemacs -Q file"? . Does the problem happen when you invoke runemacs NOT from the MsysGit shell?
