Default Window with automation parameters closes when mouse pointer leaves window

Is this normal behaviour?

When I open the window with the automation parameters (by clicking on the trim button) the window closes as soon the mouse pointer leaves the window.I thought it's a feature, but maybe it's a bug.

Using Debian with XFCE.

Not happening here using xfce with Xubuntu. I can pop the automation window up and move my pointer to any other position over REAPER or even off of it, and the automation window remains open.

I also tried having some FX windows open to see if maybe one of them would try to steal focus or something, but that wouldn't make it happen either.

Thanks. I'm checking an older version before I make a bug report.

I experience this with some plugins in Ubuntu Studio (Xfce). I right-click somewhere in the FX or Vsti, and sometimes have to move very carefully the mouse, in order for the window not to dissapear. I see that I have to move the pointer outside of the window and then enter again with care, otherwise the window dissapears...

I think it happens mostly with Wine plugs, but I could be wrong. Talking about focus, I also see that the FX chain window also loses easily its focus, and no matter how much I click on the window, I am not able to insert a FX with the usual shortcut until I press the "Add" or "Remove" button. This issue deserves a dedicated thread for sure, but I bring it in this discussion to point out that I see some focus issues, broadly speaking, in the Linux version Reaper. No showstoppers at all, of course, but they will deserve some dev love at some point...

I'm running v6.11 - May 24 2020. Here's a thought that may have nothing to do with anything, but I've noticed in the past both on my main Linux DAW and on my Raspberry Pi that how I click my left mouse button can leave it latched or something. The effect I see usually is clicking a menu pops it and closes it before I can point at an item on the menu, but if I quickly drag the mouse after clicking where I get focus on a menu item such that it highlights, then the menu doesn't instantly close on me. Probably not related, but I thought I'd throw that out there.

I had the the setting "Focus follow mouse" in XFCE activated. With the standard settings the window stays open.
