Description Troy Sankey 2012-05-06 07:05:37 UTC 
1. select any tool (or click on any panel that is not the image)
2. move mouse over image
3. try to pan around using spacebar

Panning doesn't work until you explicitly give the image region focus by clicking on it. If the paintbrush tool was previously selected, this means undo-ing the last action (grr!).

Is this with focus follow mouse?
Comment 2 Troy Sankey 2012-05-09 01:01:20 UTC 
Oops, I meant to say this is single window mode. This has nothing to do with my window manager.

Another example of what can go wrong, which I personally run into a lot, is attempting to mousewheel around the image, but because of the current application focus I end up accidentally scrolling through my layer stack or available paint blending modes.
Comment 9 trusktr 2012-08-06 17:24:53 UTC 
Yeah, that's one fairly annoying side effect.

    Bug 675549 - image region does not have focus unless clicked on
    
    We cannot simply randomy move the focus from e.g. a text entry back to
    the canvas. Instead introduce global handling of "Escape" and a
    "primary_focus_widget" that is always set the the image window's
    active canvas. When Escape is pressed, move the focus to that primary
    focus widget, or beep if it is already there. Text widgets still get
    the key events before that logic and can consume the Escape.
