** Description changed: - Applications (I've observed gnome-terminal, pidgin and empathy) lose track of window focus status. - For instant messaging programs, this is particularly bad because they don't alert you about received messages. - The problem appears to manifest itself randomly and can be remedied. In gnome-terminal, for example, opening and closing the About box makes it restart tracking window focus. + When hovering the mouse cursor over a text input widget of an unfocused + window, the text input cursor will start blinking in that widget when + the Unclutter timeout expires. The window does not receive focus; key + presses do not go to the window. + + Steps to reproduce: + 1. Run unclutter + 2. Open two Terminal windows. + 3. Click one of them. + 4. Hover the mouse cursor over the other Terminal until the unclutter timeout expires (5 s default). + + Expected result: + 1. The mouse cursor disappears. + + Actual result: + 1. The mouse cursor disappears. + 2. The text input cursor starts blinking in the unfocused Terminal; the unfocused Terminal remains unfocused. The text input cursor also keeps blinking in the focused Terminal, i.e., two text input cursor are now blinking, but key presses only go the the focused one.
