And another:

- I always had trouble with multiple windows of the same application,
i.e. Firefox or Nautilus, upon clicking the dock icon and from there
selecting the desired window in the overview spread, it would never
appear on top if another one was maximized until I *again* clicked on
the dock and *again* clicked on the desired window in the overview
spread. Now with focus prevention turned OFF it all works perfectly.

This is like a major new bugfix release of Unity 7 now, resolving all
the major annoyances I had with Unity... Thumbs up!

Title:
  Consider setting default for "Focus prevention windows"  to false

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Is the current default of "low" actually doing anything positive?
  Two examples of where low interferes & "Off" produces expected behavior

  Download something in Firefox
  Go > expose FF dropdown for downloads
  R. click on the dl > Open containing folder
  Folder opens but with out focus

  With a nautilus window open open a terminal
  run nautilus --new-window
  new nautilus window opens but not on top or in focus

  With the option set to Off the 2 above examples work as expected

  Also may be behind Bug #1437764
