Public bug reported: The global menu bar used by Unity is basically incompatible with the "Select windows when the mouse moves over them" option in "System" > "Preferences" > "Windows" (gnome-window-properties). This is because moving the mouse to the menu bar will often move it over another window, changing the window focus.
So, whenever Unity is being used with the global menu bar: * the "Window Selection" section of the "Window Preferences" window should be hidden * the "Select windows when the mouse moves over them" option should be treated as if it was off. ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Canonical Desktop Experience Team (canonical-dx-team) Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Canonical Desktop Experience Team (canonical-dx-team) ** Description changed: - Binary package hint: gnome-control-center - The global menu bar used by Unity is basically incompatible with the "Select windows when the mouse moves over them" option in "System" > "Preferences" > "Windows" (gnome-window-properties).
