Package: libmutter-13-0
Version: 45~rc-4
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: roderic...@gmail.com

I use focus-follows-mouse, ie. gsettings

org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-mode 'mouse'
org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-new-windows 'smart'
org.gnome.mutter focus-change-on-pointer-rest false

but gnome-shell/mutter 45-rc behaves as if focus-mode is set to 'click'.
No change in behaviour, when I set focus-mode to 'sloppy' or toggle
focus-change-on-pointer-rest.

Forgot to mention it before: the broken behaviour is in a gnome-wayland session.
Focus-follows-mouse works as expected in a gnome-x.org session.

The problem has been fixed in upstream release 45.0.
You may close this bug.

mutter 45.0 isn't in Debian (or Ubuntu) yet, so this bug should not
be closed just yet; but it can be closed when 45.0 is uploaded to
experimental, which I assume the developers working on GNOME Shell 45
will want to do next week.

Sorry, I'm not yet working on GNOME Shell 45 myself, so I haven't done
that upload: I've spent all of today on updates to versions 43 and 44,
trying to keep those versions working until 45 is ready. Version 45
cannot go to testing/unstable until the GNOME team has coordinated a
suitable upload timeline with the release team and the maintainers of
other affected packages like budgie-desktop.

Please try to keep a descriptive subject line like the bug title when
replying to bug reports: I realise it's appealing to change the subject
line to something like "more info" or "fixed upstream" if the bug is the
only one you are communicating with, but maintainers will often receive
a message like this one completely out of context, and will not know
which bug it is, or even which package it refers to, until they look up
the bug number.

Thanks,
