Public bug reported:
Activating focus follows mouse from Settings > Window Manager > Focus >
Focus follows mouse breaks the panel's window buttons plugin so that the
mouse wheel to switch windows no longer works.
To reproduce, set the focus follows mouse setting. Open a few windows.
Move the mouse onto the panel, over the window buttons applet and scroll
the mouse wheel up or down. Normall it swaps the currently active window
to the next window on each scroll of the mouse, but with sloppy focus it
gets stuck after swapping one window. You can compare the expected
behaviour with when the Focus > click to focus setting is set.
This bug is apparently not present in Xfce 4.10.1 (tested by a fellow
Xfce user running Arch). I'm running 14.04 Xubuntu, installed from
scratch with a new profile. xfwm is 4.11.1 and xfce4-panel is 4.11.0.
I tried compiling xfce4-panel and reverting to the older
plugins/tasklist/tasklist-widget.c file, but the bug must be more subtle
than that. Some interaction bewteen xfwm and xfce4-panel.
