I have window focus set to "sloppy", so that windows come into focus by moving the mouse pointer into them. But I don't want the window to come to the top unless I click it. This is the behaviour I've used for years. Can't find anything in gnome-tweak-tool or the Cinnamon settings to set this .. any ideas? Thanks!
