[Bug 779191] [NEW] Focus doesn't follow window selection (e.g. alt-tab) in compiz after upgrade to 11.04

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

I upgraded to 11.04. Due to bugs documented elsewhere, I'm stuck using
the Ubuntu Classic (or even Classic without effects if I have an
external monitor) interface, which I'm calling compiz.  I used to switch
between windows conveniently with one of compiz's several window
switching key strokes, for instance alt-tab.  When I do it now, it only
brings the chosen window to the front. It does NOT move the focus there
(unless by chance the new window comes under the mouse). I think it
should (and always used to).  I cannot see that this is an option (nor
should it have changed, were it one).  I have my window behaviour set
(and always have) for focus to follow changes in mouse location.
