GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 788846
window focus regression with resizable half-tiling
Last modified: 2017-10-11 22:39:34 UTC
Focusing one half-tiled window now hides any non-half-tiled windows by raising both itself and the half-tiled window next to it. Example: The user has a half-tiled text editor (left), a half-tiled web browser (right) for documentation, and a terminal that isn't half tiled. The terminal is focused and above the web browser. Switching focus to the *text editor* now hides the terminal behind the *web browser*. This behavior feels unexpected and counter-intuitive. It is surprising to alt-tab or click on a window and have some other window spring to the foreground as well. It's especially surprising when picking a window from the overlay.
