Public bug reported: Binary package hint: compiz
Being affected by bug #704025 I tried changing the trigger for the “move” action to the “tenth” button (it’s the fifth, actually, but the wheel gobbles up five of them). At first it didn’t work at all. Then I noticed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/207065/comments/3 and tried it. The button does work, but not for all windows: some windows don’t seem to be moved by (or react in any way to) using that tenth button (I was writing several paragraphs about how I can’t find the rule, but I just realized what it is): The window that currently has the “focus” can’t be moved. Note that if I move a background window with the tenth button, then that window is raised (and moved), but it does not get focus. That is, the widget that is surrounded by my theme’s “active” color remains in the window that was active before the move operation, the cursor is still there if the active widgets happens to be a text input field, and keyboard events are sent to that window. (Right now I’m typing in Firefox, although the terminal window I moved when starting this paragraph is still above it.) So, if I left-click on a window, it gets raised and it can’t be moved anymore by the tenth button. (Left-button drag on the title bar always works.) But if I click or drag with the tenth mouse button, the window is raised but not focused, and it can be moved. (A side effect: if I raise a window above the focused one with the tenth button (that is, without also focusing it), a click (with any button) inside the focused window doesn’t raise it again, presumably because it already has focus. I have to transfer focus to another window and back again to raise it; clicking or dragging on the title bar also works, presumably for the same reason move works in that case.) I imagine it’s the same problem that causes bug #704025, I just didn’t notice than because button 1 transfers focus, and I didn’t notice the distinction between raising a window and giving it focus.
