Aha, I have configured the desktop wall plugin in compizconfig-manager under "Bindings" - "Mouse Move Left" to "<Top Edge>Button1" and it only happens when I use the mouse to switch to a desktop on the left.
So steps to reproduce: a) Start compizconfig-manager b) Select Desktop wall plugin and under "Bindings" set "Mouse Move Left" to "<TopEdge>Button1" c) Switch to the leftmost desktop d) start two applications (e.g. LibreOffice and Nautilus, Firefox and Nautilus or whatever). e) Maximize one of those windows. f) Switch to the non-maximized one (bring it to the front). g) Switch to the desktop on the right. h) Switch back to first desktop by clicking with the left mouse-button on the top edge of the screen. It looks like that left click is consumed by the maximized window and brings it to the front. That click should not be sent/consumed by the window manager as it is already consumed by desktop wall plugin to switch desktops. I changed the compizconfig-manager setting to use the bottom edge instead of the top edge of the screen and that way desktop switching works correctly. So it is maybe not the window manager (because the maximized window reaches the bottom of the screen also), but the panel on the top that gets the click and passes it to the maximized window (just a wild guess). I would prefer the top edge because results in less mouse miles by tendency, but this is a workaround I can accept. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1008508 Title: Switching desktop a maximized window is always pushed to front To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1008508/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
