Symptoms
Session shared applications take priority over local applications for the
active window.
Reproduction
Launch an application in a seamless ICA session.
Launch a local application (for example, Internet Explorer) and leave it as
the active window.
Launch a second application in a seamless ICA session. This application
shares a session with the first seamless application.
Leave the second seamless application as the active window.
Minimize the application launched in Step 3.
Instead of seeing Internet Explorer as the active window, the application
launched in Step 1 becomes the active window.
Cause
This behavior is by design.
Published applications launched in seamless ICA sessions with session sharing
are actually one single ICA session where the server desktop is hidden from the
ICA client display. By pressing SHIFT+F2 while the two published applications
are running, it becomes clear that the first published application takes the
focus as it uses the same ICA display.
Workaround
Disable session sharing as described in CTX101644 ? Seamless Configuration
Settings.
Status
An enhancement request has been submitted and this may be included as a
feature in future versions of Presentation Server.
