  I have recently experienced an annoying behaviour which I think was not
  occurring before.
  
  I have in dconf 'click-action' set to 'previews' (I like this
  behaviour).
  
  When I click an open app icon in the dash-dock having several windows
  open, a preview of them appears as expected. When I click one of these
  previews the corresponding window gets on top as expected. But this
  window (call it A) does not have focus, which is unexpected.
  
  Expected behaviour : window A gets focus
  
  Actual behaviour : window A does not get focus
  
  Why it matters: When I start typing text it types in the "wrong" window
  (I mean the window that had focus before while I am expecting to modify
  the text in the window that just went on top) and if I do not pay
  attention I may get into trouble by modifying files I do not want to
  modify. This could actually cause some serious trouble to an unlucky
  person, quite hard to debug if they do not know the cause.
  
  Do not get confused: there are 'focus-...' options in 'click-action' but
  they concern what happens when you click the app icon. I am referring to
  what happens when you click the preview image, which is a different
  thing.

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  I have recently experienced an annoying behaviour which I think was
  not occurring before.

  I have in dconf 'click-action' set to 'previews' (I like this
  behaviour).

  When I click an open app icon in the dash-dock having several windows
  open, a preview of them appears as expected. When I click one of these
  previews the corresponding window gets on top as expected. But this
  window (call it A) does not have focus, which is unexpected.

  Expected behaviour : window A gets focus

  Actual behaviour : window A does not get focus

  Why it matters: When I start typing text it types in the "wrong"
  window (I mean the window that had focus before while I am expecting
  to modify the text in the window that just went on top) and if I do
  not pay attention I may get into trouble by modifying files I do not
  want to modify. This could actually cause some serious trouble to an
  unlucky person, quite hard to debug if they do not know the cause.

  Do not get confused: there are 'focus-...' options in 'click-action'
  but they concern what happens when you click the app icon. I am
  referring to what happens when you click the preview image, which is a
  different thing.

  [ Test Plan ]

  1.  Log-in to an Ubuntu Desktop Xorg session
  2.  Set the dash-to-dock behaviour to show previous with:
      $ gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock click-action 
previews
  3.  Open 2 terminal windows
  4.  Click on the Terminal icon on the dock
  5.  Verify that 2 previous showed up
  6.  Click the first preview
  7.  Verify that the Terminal window was raised to the top
  8.  Type anything on the keyboard
  9.  Verify that the text is inserted in that window
  10. Repeat steps 4~9, clicking the second preview instead.

  [ Test Plan - Regression ]

  Repeat the Test Plan in an Ubnutu Desktop Wayland session and verify
  the same behaviour.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  The bug seems to only occur in Xorg and the reason is not fully understood.
  The patch could affect the Wayland session differently, thus the test plan 
should be reproduced in a Ubuntu Desktop Wayland session to check for 
regressions.
