Title:
  Enhanced Zoom Desktop only works if mouse pointer is over the active
  window

Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
