You can specify that > focus be on last place clicked (active window) or follows the mouse. It would only take a subtle bug in the "Focus follows mouse" code to activate it when it's supposed to be switched off. Perhaps that's the area to look at to resolve this bug? -- You can't look at a glass as half full or half empty if it's overflowing.

I don't give a crap about X11 - the focus switches occur in a variety of apps when I'm not using X11 at all.

I recommend grabbing the python script watch_activations.py mentioned here (the script has nothing to do with X11, so anyone can use it): http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/ticket/58 Run that script continuously in some terminal window. When the focus changes, the script will show what caused the focus to change. There can be many causes, such as Google Software Updater (in my case) or Calendar, etc. Some you may not be able to do away with, but perhaps some you can. I've eliminated Google Software Updater and I haven't seen the focus problem since (in 7-8 hours of Mac usage). Martin

I recall Google Software Updater misbehaviour from several years ago (something to do with an early release of Google Video, before they bought Youtube IIRC. It or some associated software would keep files open on an external disk and prevent it from dismounting, which caused a lot of cussing at the time). -- You can't look at a glass as half full or half empty if it's overflowing.

I can't say that I have experienced the issue as you have described it. I also recall that you use a touchpad, I don't. So I wonder if perhaps your issue might somehow be touchpad related. That said I use multiple Desktop spaces (4) for different apps. So I have found I don't have the problem of unwanted windows (at the moment) coming unacceptably to the front (or perhaps changing focus). For example, I have a desktop space for photo editing apps (PS, LR, etc.), another for browser (Chrome or Safari & Mail), a third desktop for my usenet client, and a fourth for all other stuff. That way I don't have a stack of unnecessarily or unrelated open windows on any one desktop space. < https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1295663/FileChute/screenshot_746.jpg > -- Regards, Savageduck

Have you looked underneath it when this happens? If you hover the
mouse cursor over the red-yellow-green buttons (upper left corner)
do they illuminate? If you click the yellow button to minimize the
window, that should happen without bringing the input focus back
to it. Perhaps you'll see something then. Maybe.
