Fix longstanding focus bug with mouse (not sloppy) focus mode with popup
2006-10-01 Elijah Newren <newren gmail com>
Fix longstanding focus bug with mouse (not sloppy) focus mode with
popup override-redirect windows, particularly mozilla and
firefox's location bar autocompletion. #357695.
* src/display.c (event_callback -- EnterNotify & LeaveNotify events):
for mouse focus, defocus the focused window when the mouse enters
the desktop window rather than when the mouse leaves the focused
window.
* doc/how-to-get-focus-right.txt:
update for the slightly nuanced definition of mouse focus (people
without a DESKTOP window like nautilus get sloppy focus behavior
now)
