[Bug 955355] Re: Compiz does not allow focusing on the desktop with click-to-focus disabled

 

At some point I discovered that if you click while pressing Meta, Super
or Alt or whatever has been set as the special key, you can give focus
to icons on the desktop anyway.

It works for me at least, but does it work for you?

Title:
  Compiz does not allow focusing on the desktop with click-to-focus
  disabled

Status in Compiz:
  Confirmed
Status in Compiz Core:
  Confirmed
Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With click-to-focus disabled (follow focus), compiz does not allow
  focusing on the desktop with any non-minimized windows present.  If
  click-to-focus is enabled, then compiz behaves as expected.

  Steps to reproduce:

  - disable click-to-focus in compiz
  - open at least one application
  - try to rename a file on the desktop

  At this point the desktop will not receive focus, and typing will go
  into the last focused window, not the desktop (for file rename).

  lsb_release info:
    Ubuntu precise (development branch) 12.04

  compiz version:
    1:0.9.7.0+bzr3035-0ubuntu1
