Currently using ubuntu 11.10 updated. - I encourage anyone which extensively use desktop applications to try:
Scenario: 6 desktop windows in 2 rows x 3 columns Window distribution: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Window 1- I use lotus sametime for work, as well as an auth application, and sometimes I use "empathy too" Window 2 - Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome Window 3 - Spreadsheets, Word Documents Window 4 - rdesktop terminal server Window 5 - Lotus Notes Window 6 - Terminals. As you can image I end up switching windows a lot but if you are used to this kind of distribution you work very fast. The problem: I specially notice when window focusing is not working right when switching back and forth from the terminal window to for example the browser window because you see the a hollow cursor as if focus was into another application, but there is just the terminal application, you switch back and forth again and now I get the normal window cursor. When it affects in firefox is specially annoying, you for example have to fill a form of those you have to click, a list appears and select when you try select a choice you move the mouse to select and the menu hides as if you clicked out. Or in the address bar, you can type there but firefox suggestions for previous visited urls don't show up, but switch to another window and back to browser window and voilá, it works normal now. When this happens, it doesnt matter if you click the present window for focus, the "semi-focussed" behaviour does not stop until you switch to another window and back. With Gnome-Tweak I tried to work-around the problem trying the sloppy focus and I also had problems of the same kind. Hope this can be fixed as it has been happening since 11.04, it can be really frustrating.
