Description David Jarvie 2009-02-07 13:45:45 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

With focus follows mouse set, when I switch desktops, I would expect that the window which contains the mouse cursor in the new desktop would receive focus. This doesn't happen.

What actually happens is (for example):

- Desktop 1 is active, with two windows, side by side. The mouse is to the left of the screen and the left window therefore has focus.
- I switch to desktop 2, and move the mouse to the right of the screen.
- I switch back to desktop 1, but despite the mouse now being over the right hand window, the left hand window receives focus again.
