I have to work with the synergy server on linux + client on Win7. And under this setting, no matter what I put in the "preserveFocus" option, the focus will not change at all when I switch to the other machine. And I want synergy to be able to "steal" the focus from all the windows on linux once I move the mouse onto win7, and vice versa (I believe this is the default behavior).
I am using synergy 1.4.12, server under RHEL6 and client under win7.
Here's the bug report I put in the tracker: http://synergy-foss.org/spit/issues/details/3612/
Sorry for the repeated post. But I now realize that maybe it is not a bug (of Synergy itself), but something caused by how linux manage the window focus. So I decided to ask it here to see if anyone have a way to work around it.
