[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Mouse-up event lost on raise window. (#1159)

[J-Dunn]

Thanks for testing. 

It seems that the amount of overlap of the two windows is important in trigger this bug. If the other window is covering less than about 3/4 of the width of Geany it does not happen. 

It seems that it also needs to be deep enough to cover the status bar of Geany.

This is fairly typically how I set things up. I have other windows, like a file manager ( XFE ) and terminal windows ( LXTerminal ) which are about the same size as the Geany window and are offset by about 10% in both X and Y  so as to be able to access either, whichever one is on top.

It seems to depend in some way on what is getting redrawn. 

I initially thought this was a WM bug too but realised that I only ever see it happening when switching to Geany from another window. 

Since all this behaviour is handled by the WM it may be specific to Geany on LXDE

> Here the fist occurs on mouse down on the titlebar, not on Geany toolbar, and thats the normal window managers action

I do not see the bug on the menu bar, so this would not apply on a WM where that is the only drag area. 

 codebrainz , could you try again with two windows with a large amount of overlap as described? It seems that the drag behaviour on Xfwm is very similar to LXDE in that they provide drag on the black part of the menu and toolbar areas.
