Package: xfwm4
Version: 4.4.2-5
Severity: important
Whenever a window is raised to the top, xfwm4 gives keyboard focus to that
window. This is incorrect if "focus follows mouse" behavior is requested.
I specified the severity as 'important' rather than 'normal' because this
bug makes xfwm4 unusable in some cases. For example, one can step through
code in gdb and have the corresponding line highlighted in an editor by
using the editor in client/server mode and invoking the client (e.g.
emacsclient or nedit-nc) from a hook-stop defined in gdb. This mode of
debugging is unworkable if the WM moves focus from the window under the
mouse (gdb in an xterm) to the source code editor all the time.
This patch corrects the problem:
