I don't know as I have not yet tested it. I will download, compile and
test the SVN version.

This morning I found that in fact this problem seems to happen even if
I load a file via the menu File > Open > ... but that is also listed
in the Recent Files list.

Since it's been confirmed that Geany's focus should not behave like
this, should I raise this in the bug tracker instead of leaving it
here in the ML?
