[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1231588] Re: Running unclutter without "-noevent" causes focus problems for Firefox and Thunderbird
I was being driven up the wall with this problem for a long time (even
in a non-Ubuntu distro) and couldn't for the life of me figure out what
was going on until someone mentioned Unclutter! (I was blaming the
window manager, GUI toolkits, etc.--I never would have suspected
unclutter.) It does indeed seem to cause problems.
I sort of worry that -noevent could potentially cause other problems,
though. Apparently unclutter uses a lot of funky hacks to do its work
which causes weird things to happen in general. There's a rewrite of it
using the x11-xfixes extension which looks like a much cleaner solution:
https://github.com/Airblader/unclutter-xfixes
I found it fairly easy to build, and so far I haven't seen any problems
or weird behavior while using it. It would be nice if it could be
considered for inclusion in the Ubuntu repos.

Bug description:
I have found in the last day or so that Firefox windows do not accept
focus when they are clicked upon. The focus (and key and mouse events)
are still sent to a different window even after it has been selected
for the foreground by click or ALT+TAB,ALT+`.
Initially I experienced this on a dual-head display, but even when the
window is moved from the external monitor to the built-in laptop
monitor, events are routed to the wrong firefox window.
This issue has survived an apt-get upgrade and a reboot, and is still
occurring.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1231588] Re: Running unclutter without "-noevent" causes focus problems for Firefox and Thunderbird
I am experiencing this problem with both Firefox and Thunderbird (and
have lost many e-mail messages because my typing suddenly went to the
index window and was interpreted there as a "delete").
Contrary to the original poster, I have the problem only with keyboard
events, never with mouse events. Klicking, dragging, marking all works
fine on the foreground window. Key strokes suddenly start going to the
background window. Switching the foreground between windows does not
help. Closing and restarting the whole application usually helps.
My workaround in Thunderbird is to create an empty folder and switch the
index window to it before typing a message, so the stray keystrokes
cannot do much damage. In Firefox I use tabs instead of windows.
