** Description changed: - - Focus follows mouse: Focus-mode "sloppy" seems to be broken in Ubuntu 26.10 + Focus follows mouse: Focus-mode "sloppy" seems to be broken in Ubuntu + 26.04 ```bash gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-mode # "sloppy" ``` I have been using the "Focus on Hover" option without any problems on Ubuntu 25.10 on my laptop, but after the update to Ubuntu 26.04 the behaviour is broken, as the focus is always given to the window that the mouse cursor is over, even when the mouse cursor does not move. This prevents from switching windows via Alt+Tab: * Two windows side-by-side * Mouse cursor in the right window, working in the right window: works as expected * Press Alt+Tab: The focus switches to the left window (as expected), but even when I don't move the mouse cursor, the focus jumps back to the right window (where the mosue cursor is) within about half a second. This is unexpected and makes this feature unusable, unfortunately. The behaviour is more clearly visible if "Raise on Focus" is activated and the windows overlap slightly. If needed I could submit a screen recording of the behaviour. A similar bug was reported and fixed in the past: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1969602 I am using Ubuntu 26.04, all packages are up to date at the time of writing. The behaviour still appears when I disable all GNOME extensions. Related package versions: ``` libmutter-18-0/resolute,now 50.1-0ubuntu2 amd64 [installed,automatic] mutter-common-bin/resolute,now 50.1-0ubuntu2 amd64 [installed,automatic] mutter-common/resolute,now 50.1-0ubuntu2 all [installed,automatic] ``` I really love this feature and I am so glad that GNOME Tweaks implements it. I hope that the behaviour can be fixed and returned to what it was before. ```bash lsb_release -rd # Description: Ubuntu 26.04 LTS # Release: 26.04 apt-cache policy mutter-common # mutter-common: # Installed: 50.1-0ubuntu2 # Candidate: 50.1-0ubuntu2 # Version table: # *** 50.1-0ubuntu2 500 # 500 http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu resolute/main amd64 Packages # 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ``` ** Tags added: focus resolute -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2152847 Title: Focus follows mouse: Focus-mode "sloppy" seems to be broken in Ubuntu 26.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/2152847/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
