Bug Description

From time to time the active window loses focus. I dont know if it is the sidebar that captures focus - at least the focus gets lost to no other window.

When using unity 2d this problem no longer appears.
I reconfirm the bug for another computer.

I think it is the panel that steals focus (when pressing alt-key, I get options related to the panel).

Perhaps it is important to note, that i have installed dropbox with the dropbox icon in the panel...

regards,
jl

Well, now it doesn't appear to me anymore. Probably it's because of updates.
