So I just experienced this again on a computer different from my earlier
observed situation. Different as in separate hardware, but on Ubuntu
22.04 with Wayland.
Naturally, focus-follows-mouse (or whatever the consistent term is)
continues to be high value for me, and I am indeed in this case
coincidentally using Wayland, and I'll probably switch to xorg/X11 once
I finish typing here.
The way I was able to notice it:
1. Have multiple windows open. Steam maximised behind, two gedit windows open
but not one on top of the other.
2. gedit window #1 is what I had focus of, then I open gedit window #2, steam
was already opened before gedit window #1, and is behind both windows of gedit
at this point.
3. close gedit window #2 by clicking the X on the window dressing
4. instead of focus going back to gedit window #1, focus goes back to steam,
because it is now the application "under" my mouse, as gedit window #1 is NOT
under my mouse
I took a look at selected "fix released" ticket, and the alt ticket, for
gnome, and both are not approrpiate tickets for a "fix" as not only have
they actually _not_ released a fix, their nature does not involve focus-
follows-mouse at all.

Title:
gnome-shell with focus-mode=mouse behaves wrongly when alt-tabbing
Status in GNOME Shell:
New
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have set gnome to "focus on hover", i.e. focus follows mouse. If I
alt-tab to bring a window to the front but the mouse is over another
window, then the hovered-over window will reclaim focus and the window
I raised will typically get covered up again.
In previous gnome versions, if I explicitly focussed a window via
keyboard shortcuts, it remained focussed and I think this is the
preferred behaviour.
