Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome
Inactive windows should raise on click only after the click is released.
Currently they raise on click before the click is released.
This is a usability problem.
Use case:
A nautilus window containing a file to be copied/moved is open. A second,
active, nautilus window containing the destination folder is open and partially
overlapping the first. If you click and drag the file from the inactive source
window, it shouldn't raise to obscure the foreground target window.
With the current behavior, the user must make sure to drag the source
and destination windows apart so they are not overlapping in order to
ensure the destination will not become obscured by source.
The intent of a click cannot (click and drag vs single click to raise)
is ambiguous until the click is released. The current behavior assumes
any click in an inactive window is intended to raise the window.
By way of comparison, both Windows and OS X exhibit the "raise on click
and release" behavior.
