Description marduk 2005-08-06 00:16:51 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I'll try to explain this as best I can.  I have metacity configured for "Select
windows when mouse moves over them".  Sometimes I'll run a window in fullscreen
mode (borderless, convering entire screen).  If I need to quickly switch to
another window I ALT-TAB and it goes on top off the fullscreen. If I then
ALT-TAB over to another window (excluding the one that's fullscreen), metacity
(I'm guess it's metacity) flips out... not sure if it's repeatedly crashing or
if it's just flipping focus back and forth between windows in a confused state.
 You can get it to stop by ALT-TABing or clicking on the fullscreen window
(bringing it back to focus).

Steps to reproduce:



Actual results:


Expected results:
Not sure what the expected behavior should be, but this ain't it ;-)

Does this happen every time?
