[Bug 494096] Re: Clicking the title of a window is bringing a window underneath it into focus

[Scott Moser]

I put together a branch with the patch for easier merging for someone
with rights to commit, and put a build in my ppa of 'metacity -
1:2.30.1-0ubuntu1.1~ppa0' (https://launchpad.net/~smoser/+archive/ppa).

If someone subscribed here could test that build and report back, it
would make it even more straight forward for the sponsor to pull the
branch and get the fix into lucid.  Anyone able to do that?

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-session

  Just recently, I have noticed with Karmic and my laptop that clicking
  on the window title bar focuses the wrong window. It happens mostly
  when I click and drag, expecting to move the window from one monitor
  to the other. Often the window is maximized.

  In my setup, I have a laptop with an external monitor enabled via
  xrandr. The problem occurs with both my DVI and my VGA output. I put
  my laptop into standby when I leave work and wake it back up at home,
  so I switch between the monitors in one gnome-session.

  My LnF is custom, using Human-Clearlooks and a custom Window Border I
  found on the gnome look site called "BlendedSmallDoubleRound".

  It isn't 100% reproducible but does happen quite often. I never had
  this problem in Ubuntu pre-Karmic.
