 I think I found a window behaviour that has changed when compared to
 earlier revisions, though I have no idea when...

 This is R1/alpha3, r41843.

 Mouse settings: Click to focus and raise, Accept first click.

 This is as expected:
  * Have two windows open (e.g. web+ and vision), overlapping a bit.
  * The top one is active (yellow tab).
  * Click anywhere into the bottom one, it's raised, becoming active.

 This is unexpected:
  * Have two windows open (e.g. web+ and vision), overlapping a bit.
  * The top one is active (yellow tab).
  * Right-click its tab, it's sent to back. But apparently still active. Q:
 Is this correct? Might be. Maybe the now top one should become
 automatically active. I don't know... But carry on...
  * Click anywhere into the bottom one you have just sent back, -> it's
 '''not''' raised. I think it should.

 Only when clicking onto its tab or border the window rises again. It
 should come up if clicked anywhere.[[BR]]
 So, while you can alternate between overlapping windows by bringing the
 lower one to front by simply left-clicking anywhere into the lower window,
 this won't work anymore when you have sent one window to the back using a
 right-click on tab/border (or by using CTRL+ALT+rightclick).

 For Tracker window, it works as expected.

 #6420 had a related issue, but not the same. If that helps...
