xorg wrong window selected when clicking title bar

[WolphFang]

Binary package hint: xorg

I can click on a windows on one screen, and a window on another screen is grabbed instead. :(

My system uses two Nvidia dual-head cards in Xinerama configuration for a total of four displays:

Hi WolphFang,

Please run the command 'apport-collect BUGNUMBER', which will attach several files we need for debugging.

As soon as I get back to the machine in question. FYI, the issue was
also present under 9.10.

Still present in up-to-date Lucid.

This is *very* annoying and I'm having it on very different setups. Also heard others in my vicinity complaining about it...

[Jup (jens-uwe-pohl)]

The problem I can confirm also.

Definitely a metacity bug

[Domenico Urbano (domurb)]

With compiz enabled there is no problem. So it must be a metacity bug

This could be a duplicate of 494096:
Clicking the title of a window is bringing a window underneath it into focus

It should be fixed in 10.10, but so far, it doesn't look like a fix is released for 10.04
