[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53893] Rearranging widgets in the variable editor switches to another workspace

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #20, bug #53893 (project octave):

@Torsten, attached is a changeset I would try if I were to install Ubuntu. 
Let me know if this fixes the loss-of-focus issue.  The difference here is
that it queues an unfloat and then after that unfloat occurs queues the float.
 The effect is the same, but on my system (and it is no surprise) this causes
the floated widget to appear momentarily, creating a bad flash.  I've tried to
lessen the flash effect by first hiding and then showing after the refloat is
done.  That improves things, but still every once in a while I see the floated
paint occur.  This behavior explains why you see the loss of focus
occasionally rather than consistently.  I suspect the exact sequence of
floating and unfloating is somewhat window manager dependent.  That is, Qt
asks the window manager to do something, but whether the window manager does
the action immediately or gets around to it is another question.  It could
well be that various mouse events, etc. come at different times out of
sequence with relation to the float and unfloat behavior.  Anyway, if the
attached patch fixes things for you, I'd say it is a Ubuntu Unity bug.
