Now having a container layout of a Browser and another container

(Stack Browser (H-Split Emacs Konsole) ;; Lisp like notation

Now I expect focus up to move focus from Konsole to Emacs and then to
Browser. But is cycles only between Konsole and Emacs. I can focus
parent and reach the Browser that way. When I move focus up from the
Browser is moves to Konsole and then Emacs, I'm again in the cycle.


This sounds like you've set "force_focus_wrapping yes":

Florian,

"force_focus_wrapping yes" is not the default. The default behaviour may 
be just what you're looking for (as Holger suggested)


From what I can tell: force_focus_wrapping prevents focus from 
ascending up to the parent container.
