Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: deskbar-applet
When focus follows mouse is on, if the mouse has to cross a window
boundary before getting to the results list, the new window gets the
focus, resulting in the results list losing the focus and closing.
This is extremely annoying. The normal usage pattern is to hit Alt+F3,
type something to search for, and then select the relevant result with
the mouse. In practice, when I have focus follows mouse on, deskbar-
applet is impossible to use as the list disappears most of the time
before I can get to it with the mouse.
I think the best way to fix this is to add an option to turn off the
dismissal of the results list on focus loss. Or possibly to turn it off
automatically when deskbar-applet detects that focus follows mouse is
on.
