I'm confused as to your statement that it's "not of high importance for a particular use-case". To be honest, I think your info may be wholly inaccurate.
This is not some corner case regarding desktop behavior. It's a MAJOR use of X, period. Focus-follows-click or focus-follows-mouse. Those have been the 2 options since I started using Motif back in 1993. It's been true on every single UNIX and Linux flavor that I've ever used: FreeBSD, SunOS 4.x, Solaris 2.X, IRIX, OSF/1, HP-UX, AIX, RHL, RHEL, Fedora, Mandrake, Ubuntu-up-until-this-release-that-decided-to- break-a-major-use-case. I'm all for having this resolved, but the speed with which updates are being put out for Unity, and the patently obvious disregard for such a major issue in favor of other issues speaks volumes to me about the distro's priorities. I'm grateful for Ubuntu. I really am. And to the devs, testers, and architects who worked tirelessly to give us something for free. But since it's free, I can't vote with my wallet to protest something. I don't even want to protest. I just want my mouse and alt- tab to work properly, like they have for the last 18 years. Hell - is anyone up the Ubuntu chain even reading this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762032 Title: alt+tab broken with click-to-focus off To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/762032/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
