           Summary: Focus follows mouse gives focus to wrong window when
                    currently focused window is closed
           Product: kwin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Mandriva RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwin kde org
        ReportedBy: kde richardneill org


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs
OS:                Linux

I use "focus follows mouse". 

When I close a window, focus jumps to the LAST window which had focus, even though \
this is NOT the window which is now under the mouse. So the focus is in the wrong \
place.

Consider the following:

(1)I create 3 windows in kwrite, called  A,B,C.  All of these windows are raised(*). \
The left hand half of the screen contains window A and Window B,  with B on top of A. \
The right hand half of the screen contains Window C.  First, I click on C. Then I \
move the mouse pointer over B and click it.

(2)Now, I close Window B.  (It makes no difference whether I use Ctrl-W, or the [X] \
button.)

(3)The mouse pointer has not been moved, and is now over window A. So, A OUGHT to \
receive focus. However, focus actually jumps to the previously active window, C.

(4)I am now typing in the wrong window.


I hope that report is helpful. It's especially annoying on dual monitors, though I \
can reproduce it on a single monitor too. 

(*)Just to clarify, I am using "raised" as the opposite of "minimised into the \
taskbar". Is that the correct term? Obviously, they aren't maximised, or they would \
each be full screen. _______________________________________________
