[Bug 261574] [NEW] Focus issue with Metacity and Firefox

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04, up-to-date, and Firefox 3, also up-to-date.  I'm
having a problem losing focus on text inputs, like the URL bar after
doing window Roll Ups.

rlandrum at hydrogen:~$ gconftool -g /apps/metacity/general/focus_mode
click
rlandrum at hydrogen:~$ gconftool -g /apps/metacity/general/action_double_click_titlebar
toggle_shade

New windows (and tabs) behave correctly.  If I select text within a text
input (URL bar, for instance) and move the mouse off the window, the
text remains high-lighted.  If I roll-up the windows by double clicking
the titlebar, then expand the window by double clicking the title bar
again,  the text is still high-lighted, but if I re-high-light the text,
and move the mouse off, the input box loses focus.

Unfortunately, I run into the bug all the time.  I "roll-up" my browser
screens to operate terminals, then jump back to the browser and punch in
new URLs, or try to.  So as not to obscure my work area, I often move
(or sling) the mouse off to the side of the browser or text input field.

To demonstrate the issue, I've recorded a .ogg video, which I'll include
as an attachment.
