Description Steve Frécinaux 2009-10-04 11:32:49 UTC
Using gnome-shell, when you switch to another window which is on another workspace (using alt+tab, the app well or whatever), the new workspace is selected, but the presented window is not the expected one. It seems to constantly be the latest window which was used one on that workspace.

How to reproduce (using gnome-shell):
- create two windows on a workspace 1: gcalctool and gnome-terminal for instance
- click on gcalctool, then on gnome-terminal
- go to workspace 2
- alt-tab and select gcalctool

What happens:
- workspace 1 is now shown
- gnome-terminal is selected

What should happen:
- gcalctool should be selected.


It seems to be an issue related to meta_workspace_activate_with_focus() as the window focusing code in gnome-shell only calls that function with the last clutter event timestamp as the argument and doesn't do anything clever.
