Focus mode "mouse / sloppy" and auto-raise delay not respected

Asked by Marius Hofert

I use the Unity Tweak Tool under 13.04. I found two settings which do not seem to be respected (have no influence on the behavior of windows): Open Unity Tweak Tool -> Window Manager -> Additional -> Focus Behavior. Set "Focus mode:" to "Mouse" (or "Sloppy") and the "Auto-raise delay" to either small or large (to see that this setting is not respected). Now the focus follows the mouse/cursor, but the delay until the application under the cursor is activated is always the same, no matter what the "Auto-raise delay" is. Also, it does not matter whether "Auto-raise" is On or Off. In both cases, the application under the cursor is immediately activated which is quite annoying if you want to change the settings of an open application and thus want to move the cursor to the menu bar on the top border of the screen. If move the cursor over a different application, its corresponding menu is displayed in the menu bar, not the one you wanted to navigate to. That's typically why a delay feature is there, to make this step possible, but it's not working here.

I suggest you report a bug. Raring is not stable and not ready. If you need an OS that works I suggest you reinstall with Precise. If you are happy to put up with bugs and instability but want to report bugs to get the OS ready then by all means use Raring but it will NOT be a smooth ride.

Can you help with this problem?
