But mouse focus and keyboard focus are the same, right?
There isn't a "mouse focus". Mouse events are tied to window they
happen in, not the one with focus. If you use a window manager that
doesn't change the keyboard focus on mouse events, it's possible to
have mouse events happen in a window that doesn't have the focus.
Ah, good to know. That changes things somewhat.

I think what's going on is that the window manager becomes confused as the mouse passes over the panel or interacts with the panel, as at that point the focus gets "stuck". ... Once the grab has happened without a release, the mouse remains grabbed until that application exits or releases it, so that would be consistent with my triggering a release by the window manager through exiting another program and then triggering the bug again by passing over the panel. ...
