Issue 465 in xmonad: Mousing over a floating window changes which underlying Full layout window is visible

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 465 by c...@google.com: Mousing over a floating window changes which underlying Full layout window is visible http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=465 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Open three windows 2. Make one window floating, resize it into something manageable down in a corner 3. Switch layout to Full 4. Mouse over the floating window -- the underlying visible Full window will switch to the other one 5. If this does not occur, switch which underlying window is visible (e.g. ModMask+Tab), try again -- it should now occur. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Giving focus to a floating window should not change which Full window is visible underneath. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? xmonad and xmonad-contrib 0.9.2, cabal install, on Ubuntu Linux 10.04. Also observed on Ubuntu Linux 11.04, unknown xmonad version (latest cabal install, most likely). Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". No output from "--recompile". xmonad.hs attached. Attachments: xmonad.hs 4.3 KB

There are some patches in Issue 4 that are helpful for some use cases.
