Wouldn't an option to disable the global menubar (as suggested in bug #734325) be the better solution?
Focus follows mouse is and has ever been an integral part of using a graphical environment in Linux. I agree that most of the "switchers" probably don't use it but don't let forget that this was was the default behavior of most window mangers in the past. (And last I looked Ubuntu still was a Linux derivate, not a MacOS X clone.) Another point for making the global menubar disableable is that while it may be good to have the menu always at the same position it definitely increases the mouse paths which can also be quite counterproductive. (At least with a decent screen.) And yes, I know the global menubar can be disabled by removing libappmenu.so, but an config option would be a cleaner way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/615859 Title: "Select windows when the mouse moves over them" is incompatible with global menu bar -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
