Click anywhere to raise windows...
I see that now a click anywhere in a window raises it, as opposed to the old model of having to explicitly raise it. Was this intentional? I for one personally preferred having to explicitly raise the window - it made working with overlapping windows a little more sensible. Will it stay how it is now, or is it just experimental? Thanks, Matt.

The idea was to make it act like click to focus does. Numerous people have complained about the old behaviour. It seems we can only make one group happy )-:
Re: Click anywhere to raise windows...
Why not have two options... one to set the focus type (click to focus, sloppy focus, focus follows mouse), then have an option whether or not to raise on click (click to raise)? I suppose we could do that. It still seems odd to me that people want to have other windows on top of a window they are using.
