Yes, I am sure. By the way, I use KDE. I did not take the chance yet
to see the behaviour with Gnome. I definitely do not use auto-raise
features.
Note that the mouse wheel works perfectly fine as well.

Yes, the phenomenon is there in all scid windows; even in the
Game/Save popup.

I can imagine this, since the problem is almost too basic to
mention. Also, given your reaction, I feel I could be on my own with
this one...
