Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: metacity
How to reproduce:
------------------------
- Run a fullscreen application (GQView, VLC, ...)
- switch with Alt-Tab to a different non-fullscreen application (gnome-terminal)
- move the mousepointer into the non-fullscreen application
- move the mousepointer out of the non-fullscreen application
-> fullscreen application will automatically move back to the top and thus
covering the non-fullscreen application
Expected behaveour:
----------------------------
- would be that the stacking order of the applications shouldn't change
Use Case:
-------------
1. I'm looking fullscreen at holiday pictures in GQView, however there
are also a few films that come with it. I switch to VLC with Alt-Tab and
click on the right film. If my mouse-moving is not perfectly exact and I
leave the VLC window, then GQView will cover all the desktop and I have
to restart the "process" from the start
2. I'm watching a DVD in VLC and want to lover the volume. Alt-Tab into
my Alsa-Mixer. Same problem as above - if I leave the Alsa-Mixer window
area, VLC will imediately recover the whole screen.
System:
-----------
Ubuntu 8.04, AMD 64_32, compiz is not active, metacity is running under default
Gnome, Window Preferences->Focus follows mouse, no autoraise
** Affects: metacity (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
