Description Albert Flügel 2023-06-23 08:22:16 UTC
Say, i have 2 windows open e.g. a thunderbird and a firefox. One of them is in the background e.g. firefox. When i click on it's titlebar, it remains in background. I have to move the window to get it to front.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start firefox
2. start thunderbird
3. try to get firefox into foreground by clicking on title bar
Actual Results:  
firefox remains in background

Expected Results:  
firefox comes into foreground

It happens in Gnome on Xorg, not on "wayland" and not with plasma. It is new in fedora 38

Funny, 2 years ago it was the other way round: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1789563 .
On one of my computers i have a Radeon graphics chip and there wayland is not offered (what might be intentional), so i cannot avoid Xorg. Not, what i want to use wayland, but this weird behaviour is annoying, especially considering that today in many application windows there is hardly an area, where nothing happens, when it is clicked, what would be another option to bring a window to the front..
