[Gnome 3.16] problem with focusing windows

Hi,
Ever since I've updated to gnome-3.16.1-2 I've been experiencing a problem:
Whenever I click on a window in the back. it gets focussed, but not raised to the
top, unless I click directly on the titlebar. If I change the focus mode to mouse or sloppy
everything works fine. Is anyone else also having this problem? And does anyone know
how to fix it?

thanks in advance :)
Vincent

Re: [Gnome 3.16] problem with focusing windows

I just did a clean system install on my new pc and I have no such problem with gnome 3.16. There is also no such behaviour selection in dconf so it is definitely a wrong config or a wrong software somewhere on your systems.

Have you changed any mutter related config in the past or installed something from the AUR that could have somehow changed the way mutter works?
Also I suppose you have tried starting gnome with a new user or to wipe your home directory of all config folders?

Thanks, wiping all settings fixes the problem...until I restart the shell

Just a note, I'm seeing the same issue on Fedora 22. I don't think it's an issue of screwed up configurations, but likely an actual bug instead. Have you reported it to GNOME yet Vincent F.? If you didn't I think I will.

No I haven't reported it. But I did find a way to fix it: just reinstall dbus. (Well I'm not 100% sure thats what fixed it, but it's the only explanation i can find)

Re: [Gnome 3.16] problem with focusing windows

I tried reinstalling dbus, but that did not solve the problem. I did notice, however, that focus works properly on my system if you click on the titlebar, rather than the window itself. I guess I will be alt-tab'ing a lot until they fix it. Or maybe I'll just switch to Mate.
