Hy, I got a possible bug, can please someone try to reproduce so I can fill a bugreport:

1. Get a workspace, layout doesnt matter (I call it "1") 2. Get a workspace with a tabbed layout (I call it "2") 3. Open 2 Windows on workspace "2" (I take a evince and a firefox) 4. Open a terminal on workspace "1" 5. Start an mplayer with a video-file on workspace "1" 6. Move the floating video-window over to workspace "2" (mod+shift+2) 7. Make the second tab in the workspace active. 8. Move the mouse into the floating movie-window

Bug now: When moving into the floating movie window the tab in the background is changed to the first tab. I think this shouldnt happen and is quite anoying if you try to watch a movie while surfing in the internet and everytime you move your mouse to the movie-window the tabs switch.

Can anybody reproduce? I can record a movie if its not clear what to do.

Thanks

This is (probably) a very old known issue[1]. You'll see the same behaviour if the Tabbed layout is replaced with a Full layout. [1] http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=4
