Created attachment 6312 Screenshot of alt tab behaviour

Hi,

I've been trying out 4.12.1 on Arch Linux for a couple of days. Everything is working flawlessly.

However If my mouse is in the middle of the screen when I alt-tab the mouse highlight appears so two applications are highlighted. Its very confusing.

I've attached a screenshot. white is the mouse highlight blue is the application selected when I pressed alt-tab.

There is a hack for this in the xfce forums from someone else who finds this confusing. https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=37505

Looking for a solution I noticed a lot of people wanted this feature but it should either;

a. take over the keyboard highlight (blue) if the mouse is moved. b. Have an option in 'window manager tweaks' to disable it.

Thanks.
