From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020712 Description of problem: In GNOME 2.0, with Metacity (at least), when you have focus-follows-mouse enabled, if your current (focused and raised) window overlaps another window which is exposed to the south of the current window's border, when you mouse down to the "taskbar" to choose another task, your mouse will pass over the obscured window, giving it keyboard focus, before you make your way down to the taskbar. But when you click the taskbar button for the window, thinking that the window will be raised, the window list decides to minimize/iconify the task instead, because it already has focus. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): metacity-2.3.987.92-2 gnome-panel-2.0.2.90-8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0.Configure Metacity to use focus-follows-mouse. 1.Launch any two windows in GNOME 2.0 with Metacity 2.Arrange the windows so that the bottom edge of w2 protrudes below the bottom edge of w1 when w1 is raised. 3.With w1 raised and the focus on it, move your mouse downwards toward the taskbar, crossing over the exposed portion of w2. 4.Click on the taskbar button corresponding to w2. It will be minimized. Actual Results: w2 is minimized when it has focus, no matter whether it's raised. Expected Results: Clicking a taskbar button should only minimize a window when it's raised, no matter whether it's focused or not. Additional info:

Let's just track this one on gnome.org, that's where I deal with metacity bugs.
