Description quinnj@gmail.com 2023-07-02 17:07:14 UTC
I use gnome-shell with focus-follows-mouse, which I enable using gnome-tweaks.
I configure Alt-DownArrow to "Lower window below other windows".

When I lower the current window below others, the focus fails to shift to the window now on top as expected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enable focus-follows-mouse
2. Add shortcut for lower window below others
3. open several windows
4. lower top window below others
Actual Results:  
The focus remains with the lowest window.  I can see this by trying to move focused window to another virtual screen, or raise the current window above others.

Expected Results:  
Focus shifts to the top viewable window below the mouse.

This used to work in F37.  This works in Ubuntu 20.04.

This component is maintained by the GNOME project. Issues with it should be reported directly to GNOME at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/.

This issue should only be kept open if it:

1. Relates to Fedora packaging or integration with other Fedora components
2. Is required for Fedora release processes, such as blocker bugs and freeze exceptions

If this issue isn't needed for either of these two reasons, please:

 * create an issue with GNOME
 * add a link to the GNOME issue here
 * close this issue as CLOSED/UPSTREAM

Thank you!
