I figured out why window focusing doesn't occur properly last night.
Basically keyboard input is redirected to the last focused app and if I
select an input field on a non-focused window app, I'll be typing in the
non-focused app instead of the focused app (although it isn't focused
yet, but mouse interaction works). The only way to achieve focus and be
able to type in the the input field is by clicking on the header/title
bar to gain focus.

Essentially the settings to reproduce this is that Focus Mode needs to
be set to Click and Window Action Key needs to be set to Disabled. So
far, I have only tested this on two different machines (1 VM and 1 real)
and was able to reproduce this both using main and staging ppa's.

I would like to file a bug for this but not sure against which package.
I'll also test vivid and 14.04 to see if this occurs as well.

Thanks
