This bug is still very alive. Curiously, I have number of machines and it only happens in one of them. This machine uses the nVidia driver and has Xinerama enabled. However, I have coworkers with the same configuration where the problem does not happen.
My first reaction (before I saw this bug) was to look at the output of xev and I can confirm that there is a "ghost" Motion event between the clicks. I'm using plain old metacity. Let me know if I can help with debugging data or attempt a few things locally. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445084 Title: click-to-focus window is too sensitive Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-terminal in jaunty, when I click a background gnome-terminal window to bring it into focus, I frequently end up with text selected in that terminal. This clears my (selection) clipboard and severely inhibits the clipboard functionality. Prior to jaunty this was not a problem.
