Bug Description

Binary package hint: metacity

With latest gutsy:

Set focus-follows-mouse mode in Systems->Preferences->Windows

If you have your mouse (and focus) over (say) a terminal winow directly on top of the desktop, then close the terminal winow - landing your mouse ontop of the desktop, I find alt-tab no longer works.

If you then click onto the desktop, alt-tab works again.

I've noticed this doesn't seem to happen if you drop the mouse pointer very close to the right-hand edge of the desktop.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I've tried to reproduce it and it works fine for me, are you running compiz?

Either it was fixed in a recent update, or there is a more complex trigger for the bug - it now works for me, but very definately didn't before.

Feel free to close it, and I'll re-open if it re-occurs. For the record, I was (and am) using metacity.

Thanks for looking into it.

Is there a guide anywhere I can read to help me rule out various configuration settings and narrow down the trigger for this problem? I have upgraded to Lucid and I am still experiencing this problem :(
