I'm using the default one.  What I posted was my complet config.  I
guess the default is mousefocus (as focus follows the mouse pointer).

I'm using the RaiseAndFocus function from the config I posted.  I also
sometimes raise windows by clicking manually on their title or border.
Can that mess up the window ring?  Is there a way to dump the entire
ring, maybe without changing its order or the pointer into it?

Yes, I think so.

That does not help.  At some point it *sometimes* stops at a particular
window.

It's also hard to reproduce it, at least, I do not find a reliable
procedure to do that.  Right now it works as expected, same
configuration.  I don't know what I did wrong the last time.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

Kind regards,
 Frank.
