Public bug reported:

I have my Enhanced Zoom Desktop enabled and setup as follows:

Zoom In Button: <Control><Super>Button4
Zoom Out Button: <Control><Super>Button5
Enable focus tracking: Disabled

I've noticed that since upgrading to 14.04, I can only use the zoom
functionality if my mouse cursor sits above the currently focused
window.  If, for example, I move my cursor to another monitor without
clicking to activate the window in that area, I cannot use my defined
shortcut to increase or decrease the magnification level.  The same is
true if I move my cursor outside the bounds of the currently focused
window within the same display.

I would expect that I should be able to increase or decrease the
magnification level of the display regardless of the mouse position
within it.  This appeared to be the case at least on 12.04.
