I can reproduce in the bare Vim source tree and reported it as
https://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=172. Sorry if this report
was redundant!

Title:
  Modal dialogs do not receive focus when opened

Status in “vim” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  To reproduce with 2:7.3.547-6ubuntu5 on Ubuntu GNOME 13.04:

  1. Open a file in GVIM.
  2. Edit the file in another program.
  3. Switch back to GVIM using one of
      * Alt-Tab switcher
      * Clicking on GVIM's title bar (not the client area)
      * The "Activities" switcher
      A modal dialog pops up saying 'W11: Warning: File "test" has changed since editing started'.

  Expected: The modal dialog is focused, so that I can immediately
  dismiss it by pressing Enter or reload the file by pressing L.

  Actual: The modal dialog is not focused. Keyboard input appears to be
  ignored.

  Workaround: Switch away from GVIM and then back. (For instance,
  Alt+Tab twice.) The dialog receives focus. (You could also click using
  your mouse if you have time for such things.)
