Description Michael Joyner 2013-07-24 17:12:57 UTC 
Problem description: 

Mate Desktop Window Settings:
  [x] focus follows mouse
  [ ] raise windows after delay on focus


Steps to reproduce:
1. use focus follows mouse
2. double click a csv file to open
3. move another window on top of the import dialog, leave part of the dialog exposed
4. mouse over the dialog, the dialog moves to the top of the stack.

Current behavior:

The import dialog violates window manager settings by forcing itself to top of display stack when focused.

Expected behavior:

The import dialog does not alter it's stack position when focused, obeying the window manager's placement in the stack.

This is disruptive when trying to switch rapidly between windows when trying to compare the import dialog preview to other windows open in other applications and actually had me thinking briefly that my other app had crashed as it "vanished" while mousing towards it.
