From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031014 Galeon/1.3.9 Description of problem: After some days, metacity dropped the sloppy focus mode and start using click-to-focus but I never asked for this to change. Immediatly after metacity changed this behaviour, i ran gnome-window-properties, but it was still telling me 'on mouse over focus -> on'. I tried to switch to click-to-focus, close the gnome-window-properties, then to re-run gnome-window-properties, to go back to sloppy focus but it didnt work. a 'killall metacity' solved the problem. It happened 3 times during the last month, and i have not been able to reproduce it.. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): metacity(0:2.6.2-1).i386 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: I have not been able to reproduce it. Additional info:
It just happened with metacity(0:2.6.3-1).i386 on FC1
I have observed the same and would love to see this fixed. It almost always bites me by passing keystrokes destined for a terminal window through to my evolution window instead, with nasty results. I am also using metacity-2.6.3-1 on FC1.
This is one of those "mysterious cosmic radiation" sort of bugs... hard to know where to start. Upstream as http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143152
