I take it back. Clicking on the title bar of a maximized window in the
background is a feature I now realize I use and rely on. So maybe I
agree with enhancement bug 723882 now :)

The real problem is that the "<TopEdge>Button1" click should be consumed
by compiz if it is bound to an action and not passed to the window
below. If there is no action bound to the edge, only then should the
click reach the application.

** Summary changed:

- Clicking on the panel raises a maximized window that is behind the current one
+ Wall edge bindings don't consume mouse click events. Click also gets sent to window below.

** Project changed: unity => compiz

** Package changed: unity (Ubuntu) => compiz (Ubuntu)

** Description changed:

- Clicking on the unity panel should never change which window is
- focussed. However if you have a small window in front of a maximized
- window, then clicking on the blank panel area (to the right of the
- smaller window's menus) causes the maximized window behind it to be
- raised. This is clearly wrong, because the panel has the title for the
- smaller window at the time. So clicking on the panel should never cause
- a different window to be raised.
- 
+ If the wall plugin is bound to an edge click "<TopEdge>Button1", then it
+ should respond to a click on the top edge of the screen. However when
+ you set this particular binding, the click event is acted upon AND
+ passed to the window at the top edge of the screen. So the problem is
+ that the click is not consumed by the wall plugin. It should not be
+ passed to the window below.
  
  ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
  When I switch desktops (no matter if using hotkeys or using unity desktop switcher at the launcher) and a maximized window exists on the desktop that gets the focus, that window is pushed to the foreground/front even if another window was the active one when I left that desktop the last time.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  a) start two applications (e.g. LibreOffice and Nautilus, Firefox and Nautilus or whatever).
  b) Maximize one of those windows.
  c) Switch to the non-maximized one (bring it to the front).
  d) Switch desktop.
  e) Switch back to first desktop.
  
  Actual effect: Maximized windows is put to front
  
  Desired effect: Show desktop in exactly the way as it was before
  switching desktop.
  
  Reason: User in first reaction is missing the window he/she was using
  before.
