Title:
  Using mouse scrollwheel on unfocused/inactive Launcher icons should
  not focus that app

Status in Unity:
  Fix Committed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In bug #1081843, the following design was given:

  "If the application *is not* in focus when the user moves their
  pointer over the Launcher app icon, the first mouse wheel click
  towards or away from the user should focus the application, and bring
  the top most window in the application's z stack to the front of the
  global z stack. Subsequent clicks of the mouse wheel the operate
  exactly as described above."

  However, a community member recently brought up the issue that this is
  not expected behavior and posted as such in that bug.  Mark
  Shuttleworth then responded that that design is a mistake and that
  nothing should happen when using the mouse scroll wheel over a
  Launcher icon of an unfocused app, no matter how many windows are
  associated with it.

  This bug is to fix that design.
