[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#629873: xfwm4: "focus follows mouse" doesn't always follow

Package: xfwm4
Version: 4.8.1-3
Severity: normal

Occasionally -- and I wish I could come up with a good example that
will show the behavior consistently -- focus follows mouse seems to
lose window-entry events (I'm not saying that's necessarily the actual
cause, but it's the best description I can give of the problem).

If I move the mouse rapidly between windows, the focus is sometimes
"left behind" either on the window where I started, or one of the
windows in between.  This is most noticeable when the windows involved
belong to relatively resource-intensive processes, such as firefox or
emacs.

Worse, attempting to move a window by using the center-button on the
title bar and dragging occasionally shows a cursor like that for the
window-move, but with no window selected.  The only way I've found out
of this condition is alt-f7, which selects a window for moving (and
clicking the middle button then releases it).
