As you can see in the bug report, I'm still running precise (12.04) so I cannot easily upgrade to unclutter version 8-19.
Reading the debian bug report I'm pretty sure that this bug is something else because I haven't seen any extra CPU usage. The incorrect focus movement seems to be single-shot process, as far as I know. The only thing that goes wrong is that the keyboard focus is in incorrect window (I don't know how Firefox/Thunderbird creates the windows and how it's possible that the window manager renders focus indicators in one window and keyboard input goes to another window. If Firefox/Thunderbird does process wide input handling, then it does make sense and the only thing going wrong is Firefox/Thunderbird internal focus book keeping). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unclutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1255507 Title: Running unclutter without "-noevent" causes focus problems for Firefox and Thunderbird Status in “unclutter” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: It seems that the default configuration for "unclutter" causes Firefox and Thunderbird (probably all XUL applications) to randomly lose focus.

Adding '-grab' should be considered, too.
