Client does not always regain keyboard focus when switching windows and tags

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Recently, I have noticed a behavior which I am unable to reproduce
consistently, except with one particular app (BasKet) which is the only one
i can consistently get to exhibit this behavior. Though I have seen similar
things happen with other apps recently.

The way to reproduce this in BasKet is:
    -open the app tag it 1
    -open an xterm and tag it 2
    -make a new basket and start writing in a section
    -switch the view to tag 2, so you should be looking at the xterm
    -switch back, attempt to continue typing in BasKet, for me, it does not
seem to have keyboard focus until I  click elsewhere in the window

What version of the product are you using (wmii -v)? On what operating
system?
wmii-hg2599

Looks like the other apps that i had with similar issues may be unrelated, as i 
have
a similar problem on gtk apps when i close tabs in pidgin for example,
the cursor appears in boxes but i cannot type, it happens without wmii running, 
so
maybe a GTK issue there?

 As for the issues with basket...well i cannot produce those in the  other WM I
tried..so maybe this issue is still relevant? I am not sure altogether

Works for me in “Basket”, and I've never seen such behavior myself. Any 
more info?

My apologies, this does not appear to be related to wmii, I am seeing this 
issue in
other window managers, only when switching windows with the keyboard. Thank you 
for
all of your time and effort that you put into this project!

I do not think this was a wmii issue, (also, I have reinstalled my OS and 
everything,
and the weirdness associated with this ticket has gone away) So you can go 
ahead and
close this ticket, thanks

version: wmii-3.6

i have a smiliar problem which i am able to reproduce by launching netbeans. if 
i
change the focused app to netbeans wmii does not draw its border as "focused" 
and i
am not able to write texts in netbeans. i have to click into netbeans. 
navigating
wmii via keyboard still works. maybe it is a netbeans issue, but i am not sure 
(gtk
apps incl. pidgin are working perfect).

when in use openbox3 i am able to write texts in netbeans when focusing it via 
keyboard.

@maisaffe: If I could make a suggestion, it is that you should definitely try a 
newer
wmii than 3.6,  wmii-hg or maybe 3.9beta1, as if i recall correctly, 3.6 is 
quite old.
