Public bug reported: Hi,
The problem: I have Expo view mapped to my middle mouse button. Ever since upgrading from Natty to Oneric, whenever I switch viewports by pressing the middle button to invoke Expo view, clicking on a different viewport, and then pressing the middle button again to exit Expo view, the mouse focus is remains on the most recently focused window in the previous viewport. Consequences of the problem: This is terribly frustrating in that, because I use the keyboard heavily and much more than the mouse, I'm constantly switching viewports (with the mouse) and then start typing again, only to have my keyboard input going to not only the wrong application, but the wrong viewport, where I cannot even see it. As you can imagine, I have occasionally had some pretty undesirable results due to my keyboard input being directed to the wrong window (e.g., intending to copy and paste between windows residing in different viewports and having my keystrokes, after switching viewports, replacing the source of the copy operation because the mouse focus was on the wrong window/viewport). Expected behavior: When switching viewports, no matter the method, the window at the top of the Z-order for that viewport should get the mouse focus, just as it did in Natty, 10.x, and 9.x. As always, thanks for all you do! Cheers, Doug ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: unity 4.24.0-0ubuntu2b1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,commands,vpswitch,snap,place,shift,obs,imgpng,resize,move,regex,unitymtgrabhandles,mousepoll,gnomecompat,grid,session,animation,wall,expo,fade,ezoom,workarounds,scale,unityshell] Date: Sun Oct 30 17:05:25 2011 DistroCodename: oneiric DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: fglrx, 8.881, 3.0.0-12-generic, x86_64: installed vboxhost, 4.1.4, 3.0.0-12-generic, x86_64: installed GraphicsCard: ATI Technologies Inc Redwood [Radeon HD 5670] [1002:68d8] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: PC Partner Limited Device [174b:e166] InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427.1) JockeyStatus: xorg:fglrx_updates - ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver (post-release updates) (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use) xorg:fglrx - ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver (Proprietary, Enabled, In use) MachineType: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
