Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open CCSM and enable the Enhanced Zoom Desktop plugin under the Accessibility section, and set the zoom in and zoom out shortcuts.
2. Open two different applications, e.g. gedit and nautilus, and move them so they are both visible.
3. Click under gedit to gave it the focus, them move the mouse under nautilus and try to zoom in/out.

What occurs:
Neither Zoom In nor Zoom Out actions are performed.

What was expected:
The zoom in/out actions should work as occurs when the mouse is under the current application's area

I've noticed the desktop environment or Ubuntu version do not affect this behaviour, I've tested under Unity, Gnome Flashback and Mate; using Ubuntu 12.04, 13.04 and 14.04; with the same results.

I've also noticed it's not possible to zoom in/out over a panel of gnome-panel, I think it's caused by this bug, due to the gnome-panel never get focus.

This bug seems to be fixed in Compiz 0.9.11.3.

If you're using Ubuntu 14.04 or Linux Mint 17, you only need to perform "apt-get upgrade" and that version will be installed. I don't know about previous versions.
