Closing a window brings one of the remaining windows of the same client to the front

[Saviq]

Steps:

• have two windows of App A open
• have App B open
• Alt+Tab to App B, then App A
• close foreground App A window

Expected:

• focus goes back to App B

Current:

• focus goes to the other window of App A

It looks like we raise all windows belonging to the same app when we're cycling apps, instead of just a single window, which is wrong

That is hard to read!

s/apps/windows/
s/types/app/

Maybe?

Even worse, BasicWindowManager::refocus also wants to handle refocus. That is probably where we want to move this logic anyway...

[mattkae]

Although, if BasicWindowManager::refocus manages that behavior, then WindowManagers aren't free to do whatever they like in that situation. (e.g. maybe a Tiling Window Manager wants to select a window that's close to the last selected window, instead of the last focused one)

Just to clear up what this bug is about:

It's mate-terminal that should be focused when I close one of Pluma's windows. Importantly, they're two windows of the same Pluma process.
