Description jan 2007-09-16 11:18:04 CEST
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070801 BonEcho/2.0.0.6
Build Identifier: 

I have a second TFT attached to my notebook as an extended desktop. xfce works very well with it, but when I have firefox running in fullscreen mode (F11) on the second TFT, then xfce will only let me cycle through the windows with alt-tab. clicking on the taskbar window item doesn't work. it hilights the clicked window, but focus doesn't change.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. xfce with two monitors, extended desktop.
2. run firefox in fullscreen (F11) on the second monitor (on the first will not work, cause the taskbar is hidden then)
3. try to click on another window in the taskbar

Actual Results:  
see 'details'

Expected Results:  
change the window

kernel 2.6.22.5
xorg 7.3
xf86-video-ati 6.7.192

What highlights, the window decorations or the button in the taskbar?

only the button in the taskbar. nothing else changes, firefox is still in front.

and: moving a window from the other screen to the firefox-fullscreen one hides it. ie I can move the window to it, but firefox is still in the front, therefore I can't see the window. I can happily move it around but it is in the background.

Anyone cares to try this in a 4.7 panel?
Comment 6 Nick Schermer editbugs 2011-02-12 18:20:05 CET
Ancient bug and a lot of code changed here in the panel. Please reopen if this bug still exists in the 4.8 panel.
