[Bug 762032] Re: alt+tab broken with click-to-focus off
I'm confused as to your statement that it's not of high importance for a particular use-case. To be honest, I think your info may be wholly inaccurate. This is not some corner case regarding desktop behavior. It's a MAJOR use of X, period. Focus-follows-click or focus-follows-mouse. Those have been the 2 options since I started using Motif back in 1993. It's been true on every single UNIX and Linux flavor that I've ever used: FreeBSD, SunOS 4.x, Solaris 2.X, IRIX, OSF/1, HP-UX, AIX, RHL, RHEL, Fedora, Mandrake, Ubuntu-up-until-this-release-that-decided-to- break-a-major-use-case. I'm all for having this resolved, but the speed with which updates are being put out for Unity, and the patently obvious disregard for such a major issue in favor of other issues speaks volumes to me about the distro's priorities. I'm grateful for Ubuntu. I really am. And to the devs, testers, and architects who worked tirelessly to give us something for free. But since it's free, I can't vote with my wallet to protest something. I don't even want to protest. I just want my mouse and alt- tab to work properly, like they have for the last 18 years.

[Bug 762032] Re: alt+tab broken with click-to-focus off
As an aside, it's not just that it worked in 10.10 and earlier releases. It's worked in virtually *EVERY* UNIX flavor and Linux distro since... well, at least the last decade. Is this being actively looked at? Or is it something that's not considered a priority? IMHO, leaving a major regression unaddressed and unassigned for almost 2 months whilst leaving it in Wishlist status doesn't reflect well upon... well... anything. Is there anything we can do to help get this more noticed in order to get proper resolution? Or is this now planned behavior moving forwards such that focus-follows-mouse is no longer supported? tongue-in-cheek If it is the latter, should that option be removed from the settings pages? /tongue-in-cheek -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762032 Title: alt+tab broken with click-to-focus off To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/762032/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 762032] Re: alt+tab broken with click-to-focus off
How is this bug a wishlist item rather than a Major Regression? With Select windows when the mouse moves over them disabled (aka - focus follows mouse), Alt-Tab is *BROKEN* in 11.04 in Classic mode, whereas in 10.10 and earlier it worked perfectly. I can understand how this gets past QA before a release, but it's a serious productivity killer for those of us who use it. And it's not like it's an unusual configuration either... I like using Ubuntu. But I'd think that this issue deserves more than Wishlist status. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762032 Title: alt+tab broken with click-to-focus off -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
