[Bug 1398512] [NEW] Multiple viewport switches in one movement causes incorrect window focusing.

 

Public bug reported:

This bug started after this merge:
https://code.launchpad.net/~dgadomski/compiz/remember-focus/+merge/236735

How to reproduce:
TL = Top Left workspace
TR = Top Right
BL = Bottom Left
BR = Bottom Right

1) Open a window on TL, TR, and BL
2) Move to BL workspace.
3) Quickly move to TR workspace, moving through BR or TL workspace.
4) Now move to BR/TL workspace.

Expected Result:
-- Last active window on that workspace gets window focus

Actual Result:
-- Window that was LAST ACTIVE (ie. the window in the BL workspace) gets focus.

This happens because the Window focus does not change when moving
through workspaces, but new MoveWorkspaces function calls happen. So
when you move through a workspace we are saving the active window as the
last active window for that workspace.
