Summary0003985: Focus follows mouse in fvwm brings scribus to foreground if palettes are focused
DescriptionDebian Bug report logs - #375122

Found in version scribus-ng/1.3.3.2.dfsg-1.

Subject: scribus-ng: forced auto-raise for property dialog
Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2006 16:50:56 +0200

Package: scribus-ng
Version: 1.3.3.2.dfsg-1
Severity: normal


Hello,

I see the following problem: I have a new scribus file opened, insert an
image frame, then open the image property dialog belonging to said
frame, as well as a dialog to load the image from a file on disk. I also
have an xterm open (fvwm here). The xterm sits on top of all three
mentioned scribus windows, but when I move the mouse over the scribus
image property window, the whole application pops to front (I have
focus-follows-mouse). Moving the mouse over the other scribus windows
has no effect.

Best,
--Toni++
Additional InformationI requested more information from the reporter as suggested by MrB to check if all palettes exibit the same behavior.
TagsNo tags attached.

I recall running into frustrating behaviour myself with metacity and focus follows mouse. I think Scribus is confusing focus with being the foremost window, and additionally tries to reassign focus by bringing windows forward.

I vaguely recall looking into this before after having issues with the same thing using metacity.

If it really is confined to the properties palette, presumably there's an explicit window raise in mpalette.cpp somewhere.

most likely obsolete. Resolving unless someone displays otherwise
