[Bug 884005] Re: On Oneiric, Unity 3D leaves focus on previous viewport when switching viewports via the Compiz Expo plugin

 

That version has reached EOL since a while, so it will not receive
update. If that issue still exist, report again using ubuntu-bug.

Title:
  On Oneiric, Unity 3D leaves focus on previous viewport when switching
  viewports via the Compiz Expo plugin

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hi,

  The problem:

  I have Expo view mapped to my middle mouse button.  Ever since
  upgrading from Natty to Oneric, whenever I switch viewports by
  pressing the middle button to invoke Expo view, clicking on a
  different viewport, and then pressing the middle button again to exit
  Expo view, the mouse focus is remains on the most recently focused
  window in the previous viewport.

  Consequences of the problem:

  This is terribly frustrating in that, because I use the keyboard
  heavily and much more than the mouse, I'm constantly switching
  viewports (with the mouse) and then start typing again, only to have
  my keyboard input going to not only the wrong application, but the
  wrong viewport, where I cannot even see it.  As you can imagine, I
  have occasionally had some pretty undesirable results due to my
  keyboard input being directed to the wrong window (e.g., intending to
  copy and paste between windows residing in different viewports and
  having my keystrokes, after switching viewports, replacing the source
  of the copy operation because the mouse focus was on the wrong
  window/viewport).

  Expected behavior:

  When switching viewports, no matter the method, the window at the top
  of the Z-order for that viewport should get the mouse focus, just as
  it did in Natty, 10.x, and 9.x.

  As always, thanks for all you do!

  Cheers,
  Doug
