Re: [e-users] Mouse does not always select window under pointer (xinerama)

* focus:

I had not catched this detail before, because I always move mouse 
directly over mutually recovering windows, but, if I pass out of 
decoration, over the background, then, the bug does not occur.

The bug is not specific to those terms; also happens with Thunderbird 
composition, Firefox ...

Systematic, 100% repro.

* mouse lost in void

Very rare; a few times a month.

Ticked the disable option; will see.
