Hi!

Claws-Mail is yet the only application I have noticed having problems with focus. \
Steps to reproduce are:

1. open two apps on a desktop X, being Claws-Mail one og the apps
2. select (focus) Claws-Mail
3. switch to desktop Y
4. return to desktop X

Result: Claws-Mail is still above another (opened on desktop X) app, but it is that \
second app who accepts keyboard input.

At my case Firefox played the role of that second app, and it is very funny to see \
Claws-Mail, but - via Alt-F - to navigate Firefox menu.

BTW, tint2 also shows the second app to be active.

Can anybody suggest ideas for further issue investigation? Which window/application \
properties are in the game? How to browse and direct them? Workarounds? Additional \
action for desktop X switch key?

I have switched from KDE to OpenBox just few days ago and very happy with this \
migration. Indeed. Very. And it is the only issue I have. Unfortunately, it is rather \
annoying issue as far as mail client is one of the main app I use during all the day \
(and, you see, night also).

Under other WM/DE which I have tried there were not any such problems with Claws-Mail \
(or any other apps).
