[Bug 1427636] Re: Desktop doesn't get keyboard focus

 

Thanks Christopher for having a look at this. Sorry that I don't have
the knowledge to help :(

I also missed why there weren't more questions about this on the
internet too!?

Title:
  Desktop doesn't get keyboard focus

Status in Compiz:
  Triaged
Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  When a window application is open, the desktop icons can get mouse
  focus but the keyboard event are send to the last window. Trying
  renaming or deleting files on the desktop with the keyboard is
  impossible in this scenario.

  I have the focus mode "follow the mouse", but reverting to the default
  setting has the same problem.

  Also have a look at this question on Ask Ubuntu
