So I just experienced this again on a computer different from my earlier
observed situation. Different as in separate hardware, but on Ubuntu
22.04 with Wayland.

Naturally, focus-follows-mouse (or whatever the consistent term is)
continues to be high value for me, and I am indeed in this case
coincidentally using Wayland, and I'll probably switch to xorg/X11 once
I finish typing here.

The way I was able to notice it:

1. Have multiple windows open. Steam maximised behind, two gedit windows open 
but not one on top of the other. 
2. gedit window #1 is what I had focus of, then I open gedit window #2, steam 
was already opened before gedit window #1, and is behind both windows of gedit 
at this point.
3. close gedit window #2 by clicking the X on the window dressing
4. instead of focus going back to gedit window #1, focus goes back to steam, 
because it is now the application "under" my mouse, as gedit window #1 is NOT 
under my mouse

I took a look at selected "fix released" ticket, and the alt ticket, for
gnome, and both are not approrpiate tickets for a "fix" as not only have
they actually _not_ released a fix, their nature does not involve focus-
follows-mouse at all.
