If "focus follows mouse" is enabled, I expect that the window under the mouse is always in focus. But if the mouse changes windows during selection, the wrong (=focused window when selection starts) remains in focus. To reproduce: * Open two windows (e.g. xfce4-terminal, xterm, konsole) and place them side by side. * Start selection in one window and move mouse during selection (=keep mouse button pressed) into the other window. * Start typing --> wrong window Expected behaviour: the window below the mouse gets focus when selection ends (mouse button is released).
Not a bug. When selecting, the app has an active grab on the pointer and the WM won't receive the enter/leave events.
Thanks for your quick answer. I'm sure you are right but as other window managers (e.g. in KDE) does not show this behavior there must be a way to prevent this. Maybe it is possible to set focus right after the selection.
Yes, enter/leave events are emitted on ungrab, so updating focus could be achieved afterwards, but not during selecting.
Afterwards should be fully sufficient and a big win. The problem happen quite often if someone use a tiled window layout.
