i also have this bug with my 2-day old (e16.8) cvs. and, indeed, it
_only_ happens when no windows have focus. it also has something to do
with focus-follows-pointer, because the problem does not occur if it
follows clicks. focus-follows-clicks automatically does something with
the focus when a window is closed (even if it's the last window) .. so
i would compare how focus changes in those two scenarios.
interestingly, although the bug does occur with most apps, it doesn't
with x-applications (xterm, xfontsel, etc)!?
also, the bug only seems to occur if my pointer was over the window
when i closed it. for example, if i open a window, and my mouse isn't
over it (it will get focus, since i have "all new windows get focus"),
and then i close it, although no window gets focus, the bug doesn't
occur.
Sorry, I cannot reproduce this, or maybe I don't quite understand the
problem. Could you please specify exactly what the problem is and how
you trigger it?
also, probably on a related issue, with focus-follows-pointer, if my
mouse isn't over a window, i can't alt-tab to it =\. e will switch to
it momentarily, raise it, but then return focus to whatever is under
the mouse.
You can if you use one of the "send mouse pointer to..." options.
In focus-follows-pointer (and -sloppy) mode I think it is somewhat
contradictory to focus a window that doesn't contain the pointer,
particularly if the pointer is in another window that can be focused.
However, with "all new windows get focus" it is possible for new windows
to get focus even though they don't contain the pointer.
I'm not saying focus works exactly as it should in e16.8, just pointing
out that there are a lot of options and scenarios to consider, and some
cases one rule will contradict another.
It's a question of putting it all together in a way that in most cases
feels right.
