** Description changed:

+ [ Impact ]
+ 
  I have recently experienced an annoying behaviour which I think was not
  occurring before.
  
  I have in dconf 'click-action' set to 'previews' (I like this
  behaviour).
  
  When I click an open app icon in the dash-dock having several windows
  open, a preview of them appears as expected. When I click one of these
  previews the corresponding window gets on top as expected. But this
  window (call it A) does not have focus, which is unexpected.
  
  Expected behaviour : window A gets focus
  
  Actual behaviour : window A does not get focus
  
  Why it matters: When I start typing text it types in the "wrong" window
  (I mean the window that had focus before while I am expecting to modify
  the text in the window that just went on top) and if I do not pay
  attention I may get into trouble by modifying files I do not want to
  modify. This could actually cause some serious trouble to an unlucky
  person, quite hard to debug if they do not know the cause.
  
  Do not get confused: there are 'focus-...' options in 'click-action' but
  they concern what happens when you click the app icon. I am referring to
  what happens when you click the preview image, which is a different
  thing.
  
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+ 1.  Log-in to an Ubuntu Desktop Xorg session
+ 2.  Set the dash-to-dock behaviour to show previous with:
+     $ gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock click-action 
previews
+ 3.  Open 2 terminal windows
+ 4.  Click on the Terminal icon on the dock
+ 5.  Verify that 2 previous showed up
+ 6.  Click the first preview
+ 7.  Verify that the Terminal window was raised to the top
+ 8.  Type anything on the keyboard
+ 9.  Verify that the text is inserted in that window
+ 10. Repeat steps 4~9, clicking the second preview instead.
+ 
+ [ Test Plan - Regression ]
+ 
+ Repeat the Test Plan in an Ubnutu Desktop Wayland session and verify the
+ same behaviour.
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+ The bug seems to only occur in Xorg and the reason is not fully understood.
+ The patch could affect the Wayland session differently, thus the test plan 
should be reproduced in a Ubuntu Desktop Wayland session to check for 
regressions.
