Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for this info. Just tried out installing the GNOME 3 Advanced Settings tool. Showed up my "Window focus mode" was "Sloppy". Tried with "Mouse", was getting the same symptoms. Tried "Click" (which I would not really prefer to use, as I want to keep the focus-follows-mouse behavior), but even with mode, I was getting the same (or very similar symptoms). With "Click", after closing a window, focus was going to the previous window that had focus before it went to the current window - and the window that got the focus was automatically raised (even though I did not click on it).

Overall, it looks to me that the root cause of this bug is that when a window is closed and another window gets the focus (either because it is under the cursor or because it had focus previously), the transition of focus triggers the same behavior as if the window had been clicked on to get focus - and raises the window (even with Auto-Raise off).

Anyone knows about a possible workaround?

Cheers,
Vlad
