[Bug 1125442] Re: Always Visible and On Top Windows Steal Focus on Workspace Switch

 

I guess this is something that would affect also other VP
implementations (such as cube), so I think it's better to do this at
core level (if applicable).

I'm ok with the setting, so we could even enable it by default,
eventually.

Title:
  Always Visible and On Top Windows Steal Focus on Workspace Switch

Status in Ayatana Design:

Status in Compiz:
  Triaged
Status in Unity:
  Won't Fix
Status in Xubuntu:

Bug description:
  1. Open any application (e.g. TextEditor)
  2. Right click the title bar
   2a. Select "Always on Visible Workspace"
  3. Right click the title bar
   3a. Select "Always on Top"
  4. Open a different application (e.g. Terminal)
  5. Ensure that window has focus
  6. Switch workspaces (Notice: the first application now has focus)
  7. Return to first workspace (Notice: the second application does not regain focus)

  Expected:

  The initial application should not have ever regained focus, and
  certainly the second application should have it when returning to that
  workspace.
