Comment 1 for bug 1918375

Not getting much attention here! :-)

Here is some additional information that might be useful. I was having problems with new windows being created and hidden underneath existing windows. In a forum discussion it was suggested to turn off (uncheck) the "Activate focus stealing prevention" on the "Window Manager Tweaks->Focus" tab. This indeed was the problem and once unchecked, new windows were consistently created on the top of the stack. However, this does not address the problem of moving a window that is lower or at the bottom of the window stack to another workspace using keyboard shortcuts. The moving window may still disappear beneath other windows higher in the stack.

I have "Raise window when clicking inside application window" set so any attempt to drag a window with the mouse forces it to the top of the stack. My suggestion is that if the user has this option set, that it then also imply that any window movement initiated by a keyboard shortcut also causes the window to be raised so that it will float above all other windows as the virtual desktops (workspaces) change. Unchecking this option would leave the keyboard shortcut action as is.

Of course, it would be clearer for everyone involved if this raise-on-window-movement option was given it's own option in the Window Manager or the Window Manager Tweaks menu.
