Public bug reported:
i'm running xfce and almost each time i (a) click on the nm-applet in
the status tray and then (b) move the mouse to the "available networks"
submenu of "wifi networks" and then (c) move the mouse to select one,
the whole nm-applet menu updates (i guess because some ssids go out or
new come in), and since i use focus-follows-mouse the available networks
submenu closes again and i have to repeat the procedure above. i learned
to wait a bit at the step (a) above so that it stops blinking and the
wifi list kinda stabilizes before i can move mouse towards desired
selection.
it's just annoying. i'm also a bit sad that no rigorous desktop testing
is done anymore with the focus-follows-mouse setting. in the very far
past this setting used to be the default choice on x11 desktops since it
sensibly reduces the number of necessary clicks but all the people
coming to linux desktops from windoze have ruined this useful tradition
and i dread the day when this setting will simply vanish from the
window-manager options.
