Description of problem: When using focus mode sloppy, or mouse (GConf /, apps, metacity, general, focus_mode); if you have a smaller window on top of a maximized window the maximized window comes to the front whenever the mouse goes over it. This happens almost instantaneously even if you have set the auto_raise value very high, or shut it off completely. The focus_mode behavior works as it should for non-maximized windows. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): metacity-2.4.34-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Set focus_mode to sloppy, and auto_raise off 2.Open two windows (i.e. gedit & calculator) 3.Maximize one of the windows (gedit) 4.Bring the smaller to the front (calculator) 5.Move the mouse over the maximized window Actual Results: The smaller window 'disappears' behind the larger one. Expected Results: Focus should move to the maximized window, but it should not be brought to the front.
This works fine for me in metacity 2.6.2
