I'm on Ubuntu Studio 16.04 and wmctrl -a doesn't work as expected.

According to wmctrl man page:
-a <WIN> 
Switch to the desktop containing the  window  <WIN>,  raise the window, and give it focus.

I have focus follow the mouse on.

I think the focus should change only on mouse entering a window and not stay only on the window currently under the mouse.

This is possibly a digression from the bug https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6484

It does indeed raise the window, but the focus remains on the window under the mouse and, if the "Focus follows mouse" option is disabled, the wmctrl -a works as intended.

If you need any more details, just let me know and I will provide. :)
