Xmir -rootless: Buttons are randomly unclickable (popups vanish instantly)

Xmir -rootless: Buttons are randomly unclickable

I've noticed this in LibreOffice Impress and Chromium browser. Sometimes when clicking buttons, the button just flickers and does nothing. Sometimes it also involves a popup menu flickering and out.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Seems like this is caused by the recent focus tracking feature. Disabling that makes popup menus attached to buttons work again.

Also affecting xenial now. Although I suspect xenial already has this bug fix and really it's not adequately fixed _everywhere_.

Ken: What apps are you seeing this affecting? And what's your Xmir command line?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Or are you really seeing bug 1613708?
