I am using an updated 14.04 Ubuntu with Unity (regular setup, nothing fancy or custom). I have "focus under mouse" enabled. This works fine, except that the Desktop cannot get the focus - this is a severe issue as the following shows:

Situation: one window open (e.g. file browser) with the home folder selected (mouse is on this window, it has the focus, all ok). Then, I click on an icon on the desktop screen (i.e. outside the browser window). The icon gets selected and seems to have the focus. Then, I hit the [delete] button on the keyboard. Guess what, not the selected icon on the desktop gets deleted but the entire home folder which is selected in the browser window and should not have the focus.

Can someone point me to a solution how to get a clean "focus under mouse" behavior?

PS: no worries, I didn't delete the home folder, just a single file when I noted this bad behaviour -- and I could undo the deletion because it just went to the trash.

  • This bug has not yet been fixed for 14.04 LTS. Just installed a fresh system and had the exact same error. If this bug is indeed fixed, can anyone point me to a ppa or .deb file where I can get the fixed compiz version?
