Another situation, again seems to involve the 'double click to maximise' option..
Open an image in GIMP. Double click the titlebar to maximise the window. Now try and drag (mouse down on toolbox titlebar and move mouse) the toolbox window out of the way without first explicitly selecting it (mouse down, mouse up, then mouse down for drag) Unless you explicitly select the toolbox prior to dragging, after passing some sort of "snap" threshold, magically the image window you just maximised is unmaximised/restored and starts to be moved with the mouse cursor, as if you'd gone to move it. Therefore it seems that double clicking on a titlebar to maximise a window seems to set that double clicked titlebar as having focus, regardless of where other methods might set window/titlebar focus until you actually click on the titlebar of another window. This has the effect of actions performed on what one thinks to be the active windows titlebar being re-routed to what the window manager thinks is the active titlebar. Kinda as if Xorg goes, "oh, that bit of the window's handled by the window manager... Window manager, someone's clicking on the X button on the active window" and the window manager goes "X button on the active window.. What's the active Window? Oh, it's (the wrong one).." ** Summary changed: - Metacity not handling Alt+Tab between windows correctly at all times + Double click to maximise in metacity seems to cause sticky focus on titlebar/window control actions -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/703456 Title: Double click to maximise in metacity seems to cause sticky focus on titlebar/window control actions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
