Description of problem: In a Gnome desktop it is not possible to bring a window to front by clicking into the title bar. Actually this is a problem of wayland, but i cannot select xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.6-1.fc31.x86_64 above. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.6-1.fc31.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log into a Gnome desktop 2. Start two windows e.g. a gnome-terminal and a firefox 3. Try to bring the lower window to front by clicking on the title bar Actual results: nothing happens Expected results: window comes to front Additional info: i have set "Secondary Click" for "Window Focus" in the "Windows" section of the tweak-tool (don't know if that matters) The problem does not show with Gnome classic The problem does not show with Gnome on Xorg (i always knew i don't need wayland) The problem does not show with Plasma If the lower window is an xterm, the problem neither shows up i.e. it can be brought to front by clicking on the title bar (!?! good old stuff !)
Additional info: "Raise Windows When Focused" is of course switched off. I don't want this. The window focus mode does not matter. With 2 other programs i wrote long ago, one basing on bare Xt (X11 toolkit intrinsics) and the other program basing on motif (what implies Xt) the problem neither shows up. So it seems, it has also to do with newer desktop environment GUI toolkits.
It sounds like you've disabled the dconf setting /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/raise-on-click somehow. You can reset it to the default enabled with dconf reset /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/raise-on-click
Thank you, indeed this command remedied this strange behaviour. So i wonder - is only wayland honouring this setting ? - how i ever set this value. I'm pretty sure i never issued such a command - can this value be set in any tool ? i don't find anything like this in tweak-tool or system-settings - why raising the window worked also by clicking on an edge or corner with the resize arrows visible (the parameter has a VERY generic name)
