FocusController::set_focus_to() no longer seems to raise a session to the top

[Michael Terry]

I'm testing mir/devel with my split greeter branches which have multiple sessions. And I've noticed a regression this last week.

msh::FocusController::set_focus_to() no longer seems to raise a session to the top of the Z stack. And neither does ms::SurfaceRanker::raise() -- which I know has been renamed/replaced.

On a related note, is there an easy way to raise a whole session without individually raising the surfaces (and without changing input focus like set_focus_to does)? Because I'm not sure when raising the surfaces inside a session if I've got the order right. (That is, I want to raise all of session B's surfaces above session A's, but keep their respective session-internal order.)

I'm not sure what's causing the observed symptoms - certainly calling set_focus_to() does seem to invoke SurfaceStack::raise() as seen in the integration test added in the linked branch.

Thanks for test, and my claim may be bogus from poorly built Mir stacks. I'm going to go back to basing off 0.1.8 while 0.1.9 cools.

Does anyone have an answer to my question from the bug description? Here it is again:

This bug was fixed in the package mir - 0.1.9+14.10.20140430.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
mir (0.1.9+14.10.20140430.1-0ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=medium

  [ Daniel van Vugt ]
  * New upstream release 0.1.9 (https://launchpad.net/mir/+milestone/0.1.9)
    - mirclient ABI unchanged, still at 7. Clients do not need rebuilding.
    - mirserver ABI bumped to 19. Shells need rebuilding.
    - More libmirserver class changes and reorganization, including;
      . Moving things from shell:: to scene::
      . Rewriting/refactoring surface factories.
    - Added an id() to Renderable.
    - Scene/Renderer interfaces:
      . Scene is no longer responsible for its own iteration (no for_each
        any more). Instead you should iterate over the list returned by
        Scene::generate_renderable_list().
    - Bugs fixed:
      . Stale socket issue. (LP: #1285215)
      . Qt render gets blocked on EGLSwapBuffers. (LP: #1292306)
      . Lock order violated found in helgrind (potential deadlock).
        (LP: #1296544)
      . [regression] SwitchingBundle in framedropping mode can hang.
        (LP: #1306464)
      . [DPMS] Display backlight turns back on almost immediately after
        being turned off. (LP: #1231857)
      . Wrong frame is seen on wake up/resume/unlock. (LP: #1233564)
      . Nested platform is not testable (LP: #1299101)
      . [regression] mir_demo_server_shell crashes on display resume.
        (LP: #1308941)
      . Multi-threaded composition is actually mostly serialized by
        SurfaceStack::guard. (LP: #1234018)
      . Mirscreencast slows down compositing and makes it very jerky.
        (LP: #1280938)
      . Mirscreencast can cause clients to render faster than the screen
        refresh rate. (LP: #1294361)
      . Screen turns on when a new session/surface appears. (LP: #1297876)
      . mir-doc package is >56MB in size, expands to >100MB of files.
        (LP: #1304998)
      . [regression] Clang: 'mir::test::doubles::MockSurface::visible'
        hides overloaded virtual function [-Woverloaded-virtual].
        (LP: #1301135)
      . [regression] GLRenderer* unit tests have recently become noisy.
        (LP: #1308905)
      . FocusController::set_focus_to() no longer seems to raise a session
        to the top. (LP: #1302689)
