When entering present windows your currently active window looses focus. This makes it so that all windows loose focus on present windows and the user doesn't know where the focus is. Like you have lost a pointer. I would like to request to keep the focus on the focused window through present windows.
What do you mean with "focus"?
By focus I mean the active window that gets to be lighter than the rest while you are in present window mode
I think he means that the current foreground window should start off focused in the effect when it's invoked. Is that right, Andy?
That is correct. Sorry for my poor language there.

This is still valid for the new QML-based effect.
