Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Being affected by bug #704025 I tried changing the trigger for the
“move” action to the “tenth” button (it’s the fifth, actually, but the
wheel gobbles up five of  them).

At first it didn’t work at all. Then I noticed
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/207065/comments/3
and tried it. The button does work, but not for all windows: some
windows don’t seem to be moved by (or react in any way to) using that
tenth button (I was writing several paragraphs about how I can’t find
the rule, but I just realized what it is):

The window that currently has the “focus” can’t be moved. Note that if I
move a background window with the tenth button, then that window is
raised (and moved), but it does not get focus. That is, the widget that
is surrounded by my theme’s “active” color remains in the window that
was active before the move operation, the cursor is still there if the
active widgets happens to be a text input field, and keyboard events are
sent to that window. (Right now I’m typing in Firefox, although the
terminal window I moved when starting this paragraph is still above it.)

So, if I left-click on a window, it gets raised and it can’t be moved
anymore by the tenth button. (Left-button drag on the title bar always
works.) But if I click or drag with the tenth mouse button, the window
is raised but not focused, and it can be moved.

(A side effect: if I raise a window above the focused one with the tenth
button (that is, without also focusing it), a click (with any button)
inside the focused window doesn’t raise it again, presumably because it
already has focus. I have to transfer focus to another window and back
again to raise it; clicking or dragging on the title bar also works,
presumably for the same reason move works in that case.)

I imagine it’s the same problem that causes bug #704025, I just didn’t
notice than because button 1 transfers focus, and I didn’t notice the
distinction between raising a window and giving it focus.
