Public bug reported: On my desktop PC, the focus switches rapidly between overlapping windows. This seems to start when I move my mouse from one window to another if those windows overlap. I can stop this behavior by maximizing one of the windows or clicking on one of the title-bars.
Incorrect behavior occurs when focus policy is "Focus follows mouse", "follows under mouse" or "focus strictly under mouse". Correct behaviour when focus policy is "Click to focus". I have an ATI Radeon 9600, and i use the 'ati' X-driver. I also tried the fglrx-driver, but then it occurs as well. On my notebook PC, everything behaves correctly. (X-driver: i810) This behaviour was introduced in Kubuntu Dapper since upgrading to KDE 3.5.5, and in Edgy it also occurs. Working combinations: Dapper + KDE 3.5.4 + ati Dapper + KDE 3.5.x + i810 Edgy + KDE 3.5.x + i810 Non-working combinations: Dapper + KDE 3.5.5 + ati Edgy + KDE 3.5.5 + ati Edgy + KDE 3.5.5 + fglrx ** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- In KDE 3.5.5 + ATI Radeon 9600 focus switches rapidly between overlapping windows https://launchpad.net/bugs/71470 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
