Public bug reported: I have set gnome to "focus on hover", i.e. focus follows mouse. If I alt-tab to bring a window to the front but the mouse is over another window, then the hovered-over window will reclaim focus and the window I raised will typically get covered up again.
In previous gnome versions, if I explicitly focussed a window via keyboard shortcuts, it remained focussed and I think this is the preferred behaviour.
