I should add that this remains a problem in the latest version of Unity in 11.10. The general bug summary is the following: 1. There are never problems if the Unity launcher is used to select a window - this always results in proper window focus. 2. To reproduce the bug (it doesn't happen 100% of the time, but it will always happen after a couple of tries) have Firefox or Empathy open on one workspace, and switch to another, and do something there (eg check email in Thunderbird). Then, return to the original workspace using the keyboard (Ctrl-Alt-Arrows) and use the mouse to select the window by clicking on it. 3. In the case of Empathy, you will not be able to get the application menu to show in the global appmenu. In the case of Firefox, things will seem to be working (eg clicking links will be fine) until you try to do something with a context menu (eg right clicking, or the drop-down menu in the URL bar). Sometimes clicking will fail to bring up the context menu at all, and when it does, it will disappear as soon as the mouse cursor is moved. 4. If I unfocus the window (eg by clicking on the desktop or changing back to another workspace) and then use the Launcher to refocus, normal behaviour returns.
