I have two X apps running, such as an xterm window and emacs-X11. One of them has the focus and is immediately in front of the other.
I press ALT-ESC to put the one in front behind all other windows. The title-bar becomes highlighted on the app which now has the focus as it should. But I can still see text from the previous app SHOWING THROUGH the window with the focus. (This doesn't happen with non-X apps such as mintty.) CTRL-L has no effect. The only way to fix it is to bring the original window back to the front and dismiss it with some means other than ALT-ESC, or to bring a non-X app in front of the problem area and then dismiss it. (Note that I used to use ALT-space N to minimize apps on both Windows and Linux, but Microsoft broke it so that often-used apps don't go to the end of the ALT-TAB queue any more. That's EXTREMELY annoying, so I trained myself to use ALT-ESC instead. And I notice that Cygwin X captures ALT-space anyway.) -Ken Jackson -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
