Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

I have launcher set to dodge windows.

When a window with focus (eg: xchat-gnome, gnome-terminal) is far enough to the left that it has caused unity launcher to dodge away and hide itself, and i then drag the title bar to move that window to the right, causing the launcher to unhide, the window I'm dragging loses the input focus it had, necessitating a second click in the window to resume typing into it.

The reverse isn't the case: Dragging an in-focus window to the left so it causes the unity launcher to hide does NOT cause the window to lose focus.

Nothing wrong happens if moving such a window to the right doesn't cause the unity launcher to unhide - eg: because it's still dodging from another window, so it only happens on the unity unhide.
