[Bug 956278] [NEW] Mouse Click Registered on Lower Window When Closing Overlying Window with focus-follows-mouse

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

How to Replicate:

First Remove indicator-appmenu
Then use gconf-editor to set
apps->metacity->general:
auto_raise: false
focus_mode: sloppy or mouse


(Basically get Focus Follows Mouse Working - with no auto_raise)

Now open a program - Terminal let's say.

Now open a program that has a secondary dialog box - gedit.
Open gedit preferences and drag the preference window over terminal so that underneath the X button of gedit preferences is terminal. If you click the X button, the window will close, but the underlying window - terminal, will be brought to the top (even above the main gedit window.)

This becomes very frustrating. I run terminal full screen, and if I have
an application on top and close out a dialog it throws terminal to the
top and I have to fish through Super-W to find it again.

A workaround is to disable raise_on_click, but this is annoying in and
of itself, and doesn't fix the bug.

What I think happens (incorrectly) is that when you click on the X, it
also registers the click on the window below.

This affects both oneric and Precise, at least.
