Summary:                    focus follows mouse
Description: 
Focus will not follow mouse while doing a drag and drop. This forces user
to focus by click after drop. Since classic mouse-follows-focus window
managers like twm do not exhibit this behaviour, it definitely looks like
a bug. 

Changing the mcs plugin text from "focus follows mouse" to "focus follows
mouse (except while doing dnd)" would clarify behaviour.

I'm not so sure. for me, using xffm and rox-filer, the window you are
dragging to focuses after you drop.

I think this behavior is better because when you are dragging and you
escape out of the drag, it makes more sense to have the window you were
dragging from focused.
