Comment 4 for bug 1585120

Thank you for the suggestion.

Unfortunately this disabled my alt key (it still produced the correct response in xev, but didn't work for any shortcuts or functions) so I had to revert to Marco. So I can't say for sure.

Can you `apt install metacity` and use MATE Tweak to switch to Metacity
and let me know if this issue still happens.

Title:
Unfocused windows stay in front of focused window

Status in ubuntu-mate:
Incomplete

Bug description:
since Ubuntu 15 I have a nasty problem using Mate on Thinkpad.
Unfortunately I can't figure out what I do to set it off. However the
window manager gets scrambled, and the focused window doesn't come to
the front. The focused window is in the back of the window stack, so I
can use it but can't see much of it -- meanwhile I can't click on the
windows in front of it which are "dead". If I minimise the currently
focused window, I can begin to click on the other windows, but only in
the opposite of the visible order.

It is possible this issue is ThinkPad specific, but again, I
regrettably have yet to figure out what starts it.
