Re: [g-a-devel] grabFocus

[Rodney Dawes <dobey novell com>]

I don't think there's any reason to try and avoid doing so. During
automated testing, of this sort, you need to avoid using the keyboard
and mouse, as the tests will be entering data into fields in the UI,
and moving the mouse and typing on the keyboard, can interfere with
that and cause problems in the testing. Having grabfocus bring the
window to the front is the proper thing to do, IMO.
