@tim: Oh. Great. I misread that you fixed this bug somewhere else. I'm surprised that more people don't use focus-follows-mouse. I suppose that I might use alt-tab more often than I type in a window partially obscured by another. I guess not using focus-follows-mouse is the path of least resistan

ALT-TAB is broken if you use focus follows mouse. This is a bug. Focus follows mouse is a much more powerful way to manage and use windows. The fact that the default is click-to-focus so that most people don't know how much better that focus follows mouse is explains why not everyone is highly ann

I would like to politely correct the author of post #11, who says this is only "a particular use-case." The author is mistaken to believe that the (well written) steps to reproduction make it sound like this is an obscure use case, whereas this is actually substantial use case, as iterated in post

There's a remarkably similar bug in gnome shell: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597190 I've submitted a patch against mutter that fixes it, although it hasn't been accepted yet. I don't know how much is shared between mutter / compiz, but the thread and patch may be at least enlighte

I'm confused as to your statement that it's "not of high importance for a particular use-case". To be honest, I think your info may be wholly inaccurate. This is not some corner case regarding desktop behavior. It's a MAJOR use of X, period. Focus-follows-click or focus-follows-mouse. Those ha

I think in this case, it's clear that there's a bug; it's just not of high-importance for a particular use-case, and it's good to be honest about that. That of course still means that anyone else is welcome to come along, scratch their own itch, track it down and ensure it gets fixed quicker! **

As an aside, it's not just that it worked in 10.10 and earlier releases. It's worked in virtually *EVERY* UNIX flavor and Linux distro since... well, at least the last decade. Is this being actively looked at? Or is it something that's not considered a priority? IMHO, leaving a major regression

How is this bug a wishlist item rather than a Major Regression? With "Select windows when the mouse moves over them" disabled (aka - focus follows mouse), Alt-Tab is *BROKEN* in 11.04 in Classic mode, whereas in 10.10 and earlier it worked perfectly. I can understand how this gets past QA before

I can confirm Luke Plant's remarks. Using the ring switcher helps restore near usual focus-follows-mouse behavior, but looks slightly annoying. I am, I must say, quite put off by the direction the ubuntu default configuration is taking with 11.04. It is a slap in the face of people using normal co

This affects me when using "Ubuntu Classic" on Natty i.e. compiz without Unity. "Alt-tab" is set to trigger the "Next window" action in the "Application Switcher" plugin. Sometimes the behaviour seems erratic, and it isn't always reproducible. If I use the "Ring switcher" plugin instead, the be
