Comment 14 for bug 1125442

Has there been no more progress on this issue?

This issue is very annoying in 16.04 when, for example, I have something like xpad "always visible".
When I switch to an "empty" workspace (with only xpad), xpad gains focus. But when I return to the previous workspace, xpad still has focus.
Worse, since I don't have xpad "always on top", xpad can have focus UNDER another window.

Something like that proposed "Remember viewport focus" option would be very nice, if it doesn't cause regressions, of course.
