[Request] "Enable window focus change on mouse enter and leave" behaves unexpectedly on shutdown

[kenhys]

Budgie version

budgie-desktop 10.8.2 (10.8.2-4 on Debian sid)

Use-cases

1. Enable "Enable window focus change on mouse enter and leave" in budgie desktop settings
2. Type win key and popup budgie desktop start menu
3. Click power icon to shutdown on right bottom of start menu

If you enabled "Enable window focus change on mouse enter and leave", can't switch to shown dialog because focus is still remained at same place (this is expected if you didn't move mouse cursor). As a result, reboot,poweroff menu disappear immediately and you can't click shutdown.

Proposal

Please change the default configuration when "Enable window focus change on mouse enter and leave" was enabled.

It seems that "Enable window focus change on mouse enter and leave" changes into the following preferences:

[com/solus-project/budgie-wm]
focus-mode=true

[org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences]
auto-raise=true
focus-mode='mouse'

Instead, it might be better to use 'sloppy' not 'mouse' and should not enable auto-raise.

[com/solus-project/budgie-wm]
focus-mode=true

[org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences]
auto-raise=false
focus-mode='sloppy'

• focus-mode='mouse' and auto-raise=true (current behavior):
  • if application window was opened near start menu then shutdown dialog was opened, immediately lost focus to existing application window, so dialog was disappeared.
• focus-mode='sloppy' and auto-raise=true:
  • the same behavior above because auto-raise effects it.
• focus-mode='sloppy' and auto-raise=false:
  • even though application window was opened near start menu, the shutdown dialog was kept shown (expected)

References

This is second proposal of #483 again because I've overlooked
comment from maintainer, that issue was closed.

This time, I've found a new information to resolve issue, so created a new issue.

The ideal behavior is configured via GNOME Tweaks

1. Disable "Enable window focus change on mouse enter and leave" via Budgie Desktop Settings
2. Launch GNOME Tweaks
3. On GNOME Tweaks: Window > Window Focus : select Focus on hover and Disable auto-raise window feature
