I'd like to add that the window focus can be made to *alternate* repeatedly between two windows. Switch on FFM and place your mouse cursor over the shadow that the topmost window makes.
Hint: I can use FFM almost like in the old days using the "ubuntu- classic" session and the ring-switcher for the alt-tab action. However, I am not convinced. I don't like the ring-switcher animation. I view this issue as a serious regression, not a nice-to-have. I feel slapped in the face by my favourite distro. OT rant: (Other grievances with the new ubuntu/unity: it is hardly configurable. What happened to the good old right click? The menu to select applications is clunky, showing only few results even though there is a lot of unused space, and showing apps that aren't installed instead. The new searchable menu requires a lot more clicks to reach standard apps. Often, it needs both mouse and keyb interaction, which is slow. Unity deprecates all those panel apps people use around the world, which is hardly polite. The overlay scrollbar is a downright insult to interface design, if one takes the liberty of not viewing it from a touch device perspective. It can only be disabled system-wide, what's up with that. And the worst is, sometimes button clicks and scrollwheel actions seem to have no effect! I'm currently looking for all the right issues to comment on about this. But I'm really really put off. Ubuntu was a simple-to-install and get-to-work-right-away distro. Now I need days of work to remove all the clunks put in my way.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/674138 Title: "Global" appmenu breaks sloppy focus -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
