Bug Description

When switching workspaces with rotate cube the focus stays on active window of last workspace.
This issue has started once I have upgraded to 11.10 together with the "screen flashes on rotate cube" bug #876198

The normal behaviour would be that the focus is set to the top window of the new workspace that I rotate to (without having to click on it).
This can be an issue especially when using keyboard shortcuts.

Lets say that I have Google Chrome opened on Workspace 1 and a text editor opened on Workspace 2.
If I am Google Chrome and then rotate to Workspace 2, and press CTRL + O to open a file I would expect to open a file for the text editor but instead the prompt that opens is for Google Chrome

Thank you for getting back to me... after 4 years. While waiting for this bug (and several others) to be fixed, I have moved on to OS X. And I've never regretted the move in the slightest.

OMG. I'm stopped to use compiz many years ago because of this bug, and was really surprised by e-mail notification about this :-)
