[Bug 1125442] Re: Always Visible and On Top Windows Steal Focus on Workspace Switch

 

I have what looks to be the same or a related problem.  I experience it
in a variety of instances, however the most recent example is in using
jitsi - a softphone.  I receive(d) a call in jitsi, I answer it.  I then
switch workspaces.  When the call is terminated, I have to go back to
jitsi and click on it in order to regain control of my mouse.  ubuntu
12.04 with KDE/kubuntu-desktop.

Bug description:
  1. Open any application (e.g. TextEditor)
  2. Right click the title bar
   2a. Select "Always on Visible Workspace"
  3. Right click the title bar
   3a. Select "Always on Top"
  4. Open a different application (e.g. Terminal)
  5. Ensure that window has focus
  6. Switch workspaces (Notice: the first application now has focus)
  7. Return to first workspace (Notice: the second application does not regain focus)

  Expected:

  The initial application should not have ever regained focus, and
  certainly the second application should have it when returning to that
  workspace.
