Hi,

The problem:

I have Expo view mapped to my middle mouse button.  Ever since upgrading
from Natty to Oneric, whenever I switch viewports by pressing the middle
button to invoke Expo view, clicking on a different viewport, and then
pressing the middle button again to exit Expo view, the mouse focus is
remains on the most recently focused window in the previous viewport.

Consequences of the problem:

This is terribly frustrating in that, because I use the keyboard heavily
and much more than the mouse, I'm constantly switching viewports (with
the mouse) and then start typing again, only to have my keyboard input
going to not only the wrong application, but the wrong viewport, where I
cannot even see it.  As you can imagine, I have occasionally had some
pretty undesirable results due to my keyboard input being directed to
the wrong window (e.g., intending to copy and paste between windows
residing in different viewports and having my keystrokes, after
switching viewports, replacing the source of the copy operation because
the mouse focus was on the wrong window/viewport).

Expected behavior:

When switching viewports, no matter the method, the window at the top of
the Z-order for that viewport should get the mouse focus, just as it did
in Natty, 10.x, and 9.x.

As always, thanks for all you do!

Cheers,
Doug
