| paulg78 | Hi I have a very weird issue with xubuntu 22.04. I have focus follows mouse set in the window manager preferences however after some time this just stops working and I have to click to focus. The only way to fix it seems to be to restart X after which it will work for a bit then fail again. | 16:33 |

| ubottu | paulg78: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its official !flavors, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 16:36 |
| paulg78 | which package though? I'm not actually sure perhaps the window manager itself in the first instance? | 16:41 |
| tomreyn | paulg78: the xubuntu window manager is xfwm4. i do not know for sure that this is the right package, but bug reports can be reassigned later if needed. | 16:43 |
| tomreyn | you could also search launchpad for existing reports regarding "focus follows mouse" - if this is an exact quote for the graphical user interface. | 16:44 |
| tomreyn | bug 1918375 is an earlier report about an issue with the "focus follows mouse" feature | 16:46 |
| ubottu | Bug 1918375 in xfwm4 (Ubuntu) "Obscure Window Manager Problem [Enhancement]" [Undecided, New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1918375 | 16:46 |
| tomreyn | but it's just tangential, not the same issue, so better report it separately | 16:47 |
| paulg78 | So it appears not to be a window manager bug, it appears to be something holding a pointer grab (what is very non-obvious) xdotool key 'XF86Ungrab' does not fix it but xdotool key 'XF86ClearGrab' does. The former just tries to release a grab the second actually kills the client which took the grab | 17:00 |
| paulg78 | however I can't actually workout what caused the grab in the first place | 17:00 |
| paulg78 | If there is a grab the wm will never get the mouse events and thus not be able to change the focus | 17:01 |
