in this case the ordering of windows in the list is done by how active the window has been (eg w->activeNum () which is assigned by the current screen->priv->activeNum++ whenever the window gets focus. Currently the scale plugin focuses the window on hover which changes the ordering. This fix mimimics the [1] 0.8 behaviour where the window does *not* get focus on hover until it is actually clicked unless sloppy focus is on. The real fix requires an API change to show that a window might be focussed on user action without *actually* focus the window.
