As one changes between main menus, or follows a menu, the Mozilla titlebar repeatedly loses and gains focus, creating a very disturbing (and extremely annoying) flashing. I think this actually contributes in a major way to my perceptions of Moz's XP interface being clunky.

h'm, i don't see this either using today's build [comm opt, 2000.03.09.09] on linux (redhat 6.0, 2.2.12-20 kernel) using the Enlightenment wm (plus the Pixmap theme) on gnome. what build did you see this with? and could you pls provide specific steps for this? what i did is just click on the File menu then mouseover the rest of the menubar to bring up the other menus. also tried single-clicking each menu, one at a time --didn't see the titlebar lose focus either way.

I haven't been able to produce this with Enlightenment. The behavior is observed in Sawmill (which will probably be the "default" Gnome WM), which uses sloppy pointer focus by default. The easiest example is to click on the "Bookmarks" menu. Moving the cursor to "expand" any of the submenus causes the titlebar to flash in and out of focus. I'll try this with other Window managers later, but I haven't observed strange focus behavior in Sawmill with any other app :-(

I see this with Sawmill, too. Depending on the status of focus - it's a bit iffy - the menu itself loses focus, and partially disappears - but is still selected. There are strange focus interactions happening here...

I'm seeing this bug as well (sawmill, sloppy focus, latest build). Mozilla /correctly/ disallows focus of its own window or any other app without the menu being closed, but /incorrectly/ communicates the focus state to the window manager. In other words, the window manager thinks the app is defocused when it isn't. This could relate to slow menu performance in general (perhaps communication with the window manager or X server is happening and simply shouldn't be?), so nominating nsbeta3. This feels like it should be an easy fix... Answering pavlov's helpwanted by reassignment :)

Annoying, yes, but I don't think it fits the profile, nor is this one of our top perf problems. nsbeta3-/helpwanted, we'll have to live with it unless someone else contributes a fix.

-> pavlov, who convinced me that this is harder love than i can handle. it's unlikely that this is a priority for embedding, btw, so future.

This bug has an additional 'feature'. I can't switch desktops when a menu is expanded. (sawmill/sawfish, click-focus, helix-code gnome, Mozilla build: 2001012006)

This patch fixes the problem with override redirect ( popup ) windows getting focus when a grab is done on them. If you put a keyboard grab directly on the popup window the window manager will take focus from the parent transient. Also, this patch keeps track of a popup window's transient parent window so you can use it later for a grab.
