[Bug 1259999] [NEW] new windows don't get focus in Ubuntu 13.10

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

This bug seems to be somewhat related to this bugs:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1234470
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1231588

but for me it affects all windows no matter if firefox was started or
not.

Reproduce:

1. I start up Ubuntu 13.10
2. I open a window, let's say the settings window
3. I try to move the window, but the window border gets no focus, within the window I can click everything correctly
4. I open a new window - this sometimes works, sometimes not
5. Focus for mouse and keyboard stays in settings window
6. Focus for keyboard I can switch with ALT-TAB, but mouse focus stays in settings window

Workaround to fix the problem:

What seems to fix the problem in every case:

- CTRL-ALT-F1
- type something in console
- CTRL-ALT-F7
- Now the focus problems are gone

What I tried:

- uninstall unclutter, but it was not installed
- uninstall firefox and chrome -> no change
- using Gnome instead of Unity -> no change

At all i realized this behaviour even on installation process. I had no
chance to do things where more than one window openes -> for example the
partition tool. So I think this has nothing to do with type of desktop
environment.

This bug makes Ubuntu unusable for me. Please tell me what logs you need
and I will offer them.
