Package: fluxbox
Version: 1.1.1+dfsg2-1

When moving between two windows and at the same time between groups, the focus 
is not updated correctly. Following steps illustrate the setup:

 * Delete your .fluxbox, I'm assuming a default configuration.
 * Start fluxbox.
 * In the "Tab Options" (Right-click on the background) turn off "Tabs in 
Titlebar" to get "external" tabs.
 * In the "Focus Model", select "Mouse Focus" and "Mouse Tab Focus".

You now have a setup where you change the focus with just the mouse movement, 
no clicks involved. It allows you to switch between unrelated windows and, by 
moving over the tabs, to switch within one group of windows.

Now, in order to reproduce the buggy behavior, use following steps:
 * Create three windows A, B, C (I used three uxterms, but it doesn't matter).
 * Combine two of the three to a group, by middle-dragging the tab of one onto 
the other, so you get A, [B, C]
 * Top-align all three windows so that they overlap partially:
   [A*]  [B|C]
   ,---------+----,
   [         ]    ]
In the picture, A has the focus and is on top. The important part is that you 
can move seamlessly between these windows, hence the alignment. You can also 
position B and C below, but the above setup is easiest to explain and 
reproduce.
 * Now, move the pointer from the A window onto either of the B or C tabs.

The last step should have the effect of switching focus away from A to the 
according window in the B/C group. However, it only switches the focus to the 
B/C group, it does not switch to the tab's window within that group.

Note that this is a rather old bug, it didn't come up with the version that 
recently entered testing.

Cheers!

Uli
