I can reproduce this. Since you didn't include any focus policy
or colormapfocus command, I assume you are using the defaults:
Style * MouseFocus
ColormapFocus FollowsMouse
It's correct that the window does not receive keyboard input in
this case, but the colormap should always be restored to the root
colormap. Since it depends on how fast you move the pointer, I
guess the reason is that the map is restored properly if the
pointer does not enter the window border first. I'll take care of
this problem. Other than that, the behaviour is correct. From
what you write I assume you might be happier with
Style * SloppyFocus
ColormapFocus FollowsFocus
though.

I don't see this, but it sounds as if the root colormap is
restored for a moment before the xv colormap is activated again.
Perhaps I can see something with some debug messages.
