Focus on middle paste

[freonheat]

In (much) older versions of IceWM, when the user pastes into a window using middle-mouse, it would paste where the pointer is, but without giving that window focus. Now (using 2.5.0 and probably newer), it gives the target window focus, as if the mouse button 1 was pressed.

Old behavior: open LibreOffice document. Copy from Xterm that overlaps LO window. Paste using middle mouse into LO window, xterm continues to have focus. First mouse button clicking in LO gives it focus.

New behavior: open LibreOffice document. Copy from Xterm that overlaps LO window. Paste using middle mouse into LO window, LO gets focus and covers xterm. Must click back into xterm to regain focus.

Using all defaults (ClickToFocus=1) except these:
ColorQuickSwitchActive="rgb:00/00/00"
FocusRequestFlashTime=3 # [0-86400]
MailCheckDelay=60 # [0-86400]

Theme="custom/default.theme"
TimeFormat="%m/%d %l:%M%p"
TitleBarMaximizeButton=2 # [0-5]
TitleBarRollupButton=1 # [0-5]
WorkspaceNames=" 1 "

Any idea when or why this changed or how to get the older behavior back? Thanks

Works fine here. Used xterm and guake.
Overlaps with Libreoffice and Gedit.
Paste a selection into lower LO or Gedit.
Terminals remain raised and focused.
Works with either Click or Sloppy focus.
Check ButtonRaiseMask=1.

We have ButtonRaiseMask=1 (the default)

I just tested it with xterm and Firefox and it is working fine with those. So this is likely something with LibreOffice here, not IceWM. Sorry. I will close this ticket and open a different one later if I can narrow it down better.

The question is if icewm or LO is causing the change in focus and raise.
To examine that observe the output of: icesh -c libreoffice +r spy

Wow, I didn't even know about icesh!

When I position the cursor on the non-focused libreoffice and middle-click to paste, it produces this:
