Basically it's "like click to focus but without explicitly having to click"
Actually not uncommon (eg. kwin has it as well)

    Add new focus model: StrictMouseFocus
    
    This is not actually implemented yet, but from now on, "MouseFocus" means:
      Focus follows mouse only when you are moving the mouse, any EnterNotify events
      caused by non-mouse operations (window closing, keycommands, changing
      desktops) will *not* shift focus
    
    And once fully-implemented, "StrictMouseFocus" will mean:
      Focus follows mouse on every EnterNotify event (except when the "ClientMenu"
      closes or during alt+tab window cycling)
