tutorial for a beta API that is absolutely not stable yet and is explicitly

a kind of preview as well as for developers to give feedback on the API and

because it's not a stable "supported" API set at this point.

Ok, so it is more of alpha there. Never mind.

That's bizarre. how a left and right mouse click would get mixed up. I can't
imagine how that might happen inside EFL - it just passes the button # in
events up the chain from X. that integer would have to magically change at
random for that to happen...

Yes, it is bizarre, and it has nothing to with enlightenment or efl. Last week 
the desktop got so instable I could no longer use it as my work environment, so 
I decided to clean out my /usr/locale, including efl libraries, and install 
xfce for now. The same symptoms with the mouse buttons show up there, so I 
guess this is some kernel driver or hardware problem.

That's buffer age related there. either driver is mis-reporting buffer age or
we're totally losing update regions in the buffer "ring" history. I am unsure
about the latter being possible, so the only other option might be rectangle
math is wrong and just sometimes loses rects when merging multiple frames of
update rects... but that also seems unlikely otherwise we'd get odd results for
just any update, buffer age or not and lose rects etc. so it leads me to mostly
suspect buffer age, but it's hard to prove for sure. literally would have to
store every buffer entirely and then before every render compare it against all
buffers in the history list to see which one the content matches up with vs the
age reported. it's expensive stuff.

Did I mention that I also have the latest nvidia drivers installed?
this machine has a nvidia geforce gtx 1060 with nvidia 390.77 drivers.
This effect does not happen with xfce now.

there are a few possible options here, but the main would be using the netwm
activate request where intellij is asking for an activation and e obliges (that
means switching to that desktop, raising that window and focusing it). another
option is thatr inellij is just setting focus directly. it could also be a new
window being opened up and if e's policy is "focus all new windows" then this
might happen - the default is to focus new windows only if a parent of that
dialog is focused. it's probably the first though. in the end intellij is
probably asking this to happen. can you find a setting to turn this off?

in the end we could try workarounds like in remembers/locks allow windows to be
on a blacklist to never "activate" if asked by a client or only do it in
certain cases (that desktop is active, that screen has mouse on it, etc.) which
is a workaround a bad app - we'd have to add features for that, but can be done.

In a couple of weeks when I have more time I will restart building the 
enlightenment
environment from scratch, and see if it goes better with a clean build with no 
locally
installed libraries interfering. I hope it will solve some of the wierd 
effects...
I will keep in mind looking for the focus setting with intellij then.

Regards

 Peter
