Current workaround appears to be: 1. "Un"-maximize the window (aka "restore" the window) 2. Interact with the window at least once. 3. Maximize the window again.
This appears to somehow work around this focus "click through" issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2026194 Title: When clicking on some maximized or tiled windows, focus on roughly the lower quarter falls to the window behind Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Initially I thought this was an issue with IntelliJ and filed a bug there: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-323780/Maximizing-the-the-window-sometimes-causes-clicks-on-a-lower-fraction-to-pass-through-to-the-window-behind But when I had the same issue with GIMP, I realized it's an Ubuntu or GNOME issue instead. I am assuming this is a gnome-shell problem. Every once in a while, when I maximize or tile (Win+Right) the IntelliJ window, a bottom fraction of the window (somewhere around a quarter) becomes impossible to interact with, with the mouse. Clicking in that lower area will give focus to the thing behind IntelliJ, and if it's a window, raise it to the foreground. if I restore the window so that it is not maximized, the entire window is interactive with the mouse once again. This also happened with GIMP. The attached "Screencast" is a recording. I had to crop it to hide personal information. The attached screenshot shows the state of my screen so you have context, with a bright green color used to replace personal information. For the first 10s of the recording, I simply moused over to show how the cursor changes around a quarter from the bottom of the screen. For the next 10s, I left click, then move, then left click, then move, until focus changes to Sublime, the window behind IntelliJ. For the remainder of the video I show that right-clicking and mousing over works fine on the top three quarters, until I reach the bottom again, and then the right click is sent to Sublime.
