Description Remy Suen CLA 2010-11-04 12:49:19 EDT 
In 3.x, if we have an editor open, it will be activated on startup even if it was not the originally active part.

See bug 328703 for the case with views.

The auto-activation should mean that Ctrl+W should work immediately. See bug 328496 comment 1.
Comment 2 Eric Moffatt CLA 2013-12-10 15:37:58 EST 
M4 is done...
Comment 3 Dani Megert CLA 2014-01-24 05:49:49 EST 
More important is bug 348954.
Comment 4 Dani Megert CLA 2014-02-26 07:09:37 EST 
I think it's fair to keep the focus on the part that was active when closing the workbench.
