Yes work, as in reproduces the issue.

Using the version from Debian stretch, 8-20.

I downgraded to the wheezy version, 8-18 that you reported to use, and
no longer can reproduce this bug. So it is something with a change in
unclutter. I will reassign the bug to unclutter.

Thanks for the help.

"Work" = "the window does not get focus"?

Neither for me.

You probably have a different version of unclutter.  In the past,
there was some change of the method it uses to hide the pointer.
his may well play a role here.  Can you find out which version you
have?  I guess it's something that should be fixed in unclutter if
it's still an issue with the latest version.

Still does not happen for me.  With unclutter 8-18 (Debian):

 * Start fvwm with default config.
 * Open two Xterms from the menu (left side of screen).
 * Open FvwmConsole and move it to the bottom right corner.
 * Type
 style * sloppyfocus
 Key Right A CM Scroll 100 0
 Key Left A CM Scroll -100 0
   in FvwmConsole.
 * Run "unclutter -idle 1 -root" from one of the Xterms.
 * Press ctrl-alt-right to switch to page (1 0).
 * (Optional: open an Xterm there and close it to take away the
   focus from any window on (0 0).)
 * Move the pointer roughly to the middle of the FvwmConsole
   window.
 * Press ctrl-alt-left to switch to page (0 0).
 => The pointer ends up over FvwmConsole which gets the focus.
