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

[Michael Vogt]

I added a test case for the SRU but I'm not in the best position to
judge if that are ideal test-case instructions. Please update if
appropriate, I will upload to lucid-proposed now.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gnome-session
+ 
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ 1) Open a terminal
+ 2) Doubleclick on the titlebar of the terminal to maximize the window
+ 3) Open a folder
+ 4) Pressing (X) on the folder closes the terminal (!), not the folder.
+ 
+ 5) install version from maverick-proposed
+ 6) relogin
+ 7) redo 1-4 and verify that 4 is no longer a issue
  
  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.
