Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open an application that can go fullscreen, such as vlc or geeqie, and go
fullscreen.
2. With Alt-Tab, try to switch to another application. Here I tried to switch
to a running gvim instance.
The result: The new application window is not shown at all, but I can
infer that it has gained focus because even though the original
fullscreen application is the only thing currently shown, it stops
reacting to anything I type, such as <ESC> to stop fullscreen, and it
only starts reacting if I switch back to it with Alt-Tab.
The expected result: The new application should be shown on top of the
fullscreen application.
I'm running a fresh Xubuntu 14.10 installation, and xfwm4's version is
4.11.2-0ubuntu2.
Not sure what else might be relevant to inform here, but I can say that
this happens independently of the applications involved, it suffices to
go fullscreen with any application and try to switch to any other
application with Alt-Tab — I tried with varied combinations of
applications, and the result was the same, in other words, it's not tied
to any specific application.
This didn't happen with Xubuntu 14.04.
I'll be more than glad and willing to help debug this.
Regards,
Paulo
