Package: metacity Severity: normal Version: 2.4.0.92 Synopsis: window focus doesn't follow properly when moving fast between windows Bugzilla-Product: metacity Bugzilla-Component: general Description: Description of Problem: Somehow this only happens when Evolution is involved Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Open 3 windows, 1 of which is Evolution. Have evolution be in the middle, so that to reach from the root window to the 3rd window you have to traverse the 1st, then Evolution, then the 3rd. 2. Move the mouse really fast from the root window to the 3rd window 3. Actual Results: Sometimes the focus will reach the 3rd window, but then immediately jump back to Evolution Expected Results: Focus should remain in the 3rd window. How often does this happen? often Additional Information: ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2002-12-02 01:19 ------- Reassigning to the default owner of the component, hp@redhat.com.
Some sort of race condition presumably. If you run metacity as: METACITY_VERBOSE=1 METACITY_USE_LOGFILE=1 metacity you will get a log file in /tmp, that may explain what's going wrong. Do "grep FOCUS /tmp/metacity-whatever > focus-log" and have a look at focus-log (or attach it here) right after reproducing the bug. (To run a new metacity replacing the current one, add the --replace command line argument, "metacity --replace")
Can you confirm that this still happens in newer metacity?
This is strictly bonobo's fault. It's a dup of bug 60257.
