Steps to reproduce: 1. Make sure that you are using pointer clicks to set the focus of windows 2. Start mozilla and open a second new window. 3. Make the second window stradle across two desktops (and that it is the frontmost window). 4. Swap to the stradling window's other desktop. 5. Swap back to orginal desktop. 6. Click on backmost mozilla window. Expected: Window to get focus and come to front. Result: Window gains focus but remains at the back. This does not happen if you click in the windows title bar. Also clicking in another window, then back on to the backmost window brings it to front. Build id: 2000022508 Linux

Marking M17. sitsofe--I don't quite understand what is meant by "switching desktops" (probably because I'm not fortunate enough to use Linux). Could you clarify just in case joki doesn't know either?

Sorry I should have explained it. On linux you can have more than one desktop (either more to the right, below or both). On the computers I use, I have three horizontal desktops. There is a small window that you can click on that swaps desktops but there is also an option to swap desktops by "pushing" the edge of the current one. So if I'm on the desktop 1 and move the pointer to the right hand edge of the current screen (as if to move the pointer past the right edge of the monitor), desktop 2 will slide on and the pointer will be at the left hand side of the screen. It is easy to see but difficult to describe.

Based on the comments this seems most likely to be a issue at the widget library level. Waqar? Could you take a look?

I am not able to reproduce this with 3/13 build. I am running Gnome, with 4 desktops. I did exactly as described. When I click the back window it comes to front and gets the focus. Then I am able to click on links and browse the net regularly.

I cannot reproduce this any more either. I have noticed that when I switch desktops now, the stradling window loses focus. Every other app does this but I don't think this was happening before so that may have been the problem...
