Hi folks,
I am quite sure I have found a bug in the bbkeys window cycling
behaviour. It is described below.
Open two xterms (for example), and position them as per below:
+------------------+
| (1) unfocused |
| |
| +-------------------+
| | |
| | (2) focused |
+----------| |
| | *
| |
+-------------------+
The asterix in the above diagram represents the mouse cursor. Close
the focused terminal (type 'exit' or Control-D). Now, because the mouse
is simply in the root window, xterm (1) still does not have the focus.
Next, press the key-command sequence to trigger the bbkeys action
'NextWindow.' If you are using the new stacked cycling window cycling
method, then xterm (1) will receive the focus. This is the expected
behavious. However, if "bbkeys.menu.stackedCycling: False" is specified
in the bbkeys config file, and thus you are using the good ol'
linear cycling method, then xterm (1) will not receive the focus. And
that, my friends, I think is a bug.
This happens to me when using the latest blackbox and bbkeys, with
blackbox set to sloppy focus and autoraise, with the 'focus last window
on workspace' option set to on (although I don't think the latter would
influence bbkeys' behavious in this situation).
I just thought that I would let everyone know of this - it has been
bugging me for quite some time now. Can anyone else replicate this
inconsistancy?
Cheers,
Tim
