Description Egmont Koblinger 2003-07-21 15:28:41 UTC 
Description of Problem:

Alt + Click with mouse button 1 doesn't
raise the window if the pointer is
over the minimize (_) or close (x)
buttons. Everywhere else (including the
maximize button) it raises the window
as expected.


Additional Information:

Tried with 2.4.34, 2.4.55 and 2.5.3.
Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2003-07-22 00:31:58 UTC 
There's a special case for those buttons so windows don't raise 
when you close them, so the special case needs a further
special case for when Alt is down.
Comment 2 Björn Lindqvist 2005-05-30 10:08:25 UTC 
Is the check that makes sure that the window is not raised when you click on
minimize or close really needed? I tried to remove the check and it looks OK to
me. It also solves the original posters problem.
Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2005-06-01 14:56:43 UTC 
I think the current check makes things better, yeah. I'd rather see this bug
fixed than pull out the check.
Comment 4 Elijah Newren 2006-01-12 19:57:23 UTC 
Oh, cool, another bug fixed as a side effect of carefully double-checking all raising code in bug 326156.  :)
