Bug#648841: gnome-shell: Alt-tab window switcher does not work when focus follow mouse

[Sergio Llorente]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.0.2-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When focus-mode is set to "sloppy" or "mouse" in the windows manager preferences (/apps/metacity/general/focus_mode), you cannot switch to a window that is not under mouse-pointer by means of the Alt-tab method.

This bug has been already reported to GNOME bugzilla, where is claimed that it has been fixed:

Thanks,
Sergio.
