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.
