Description Elijah Newren 2004-06-24 03:41:17 UTC 
1. Make sure at least two windows are open on the desktop
2. Select sloppy or mouse focus
3. Make a window other than the one on top have focus
4. Hit Ctrl-Alt-D ("Show Desktop") to hide all the windows
5. Hit Ctrl-Alt-D again to unhide all the windows.

Result: Window on top is focused.

Expected result: Window under the mouse is focused.

I will attach a one-line patch in a minute that fixes this bug.

Seems sensible, thanks.
Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2004-06-24 18:43:01 UTC 
This is the kind of low-risk patch that may be worth putting on gnome-2-6 in
addition to HEAD.
Comment 4 Elijah Newren 2004-06-24 20:47:59 UTC 
Committed to HEAD and gnome-2-6.
