XRaiseWindow not working

[chris_c]

Binary package hint: compiz

in addition

XMapRaised (also in xlib library) does not work either

workaround disable desktop effects...

XMapRaised and XRaiseWindow work as expected

[chris_c (c-camacho)]

This is due to compiz focus stealing prevention with it off
XMapRaised & XRaiseWindow work as normal

sending _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW to the root window with a request to change the
active window to the window in question will also work

I'm not sure where you see the bug. Yes, XRaiseWindow is covered by focus stealing prevention. If there is newer activity in the focussed window, raising the requested window will be denied and the demands_attention hint will be set on the window.
So far that's works-as-intended.

What exactly do you expect to happen?

[chris_c (c-camacho)]

I expected XRaiseWindow to work as it does when compiz is disabled even with focus stealing enabled

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

this happened so long ago, we found it easier not to specifically support Ubuntu

I don't have compiz installed nor unity probably better to close this bug report...
