[Slackbuilds-users] Impending xdotool update on SBo

Hi,

I installed version 4.20251130.1 of xdtool, but the following test 
doesn't focus the Firefox address bar, only the Firefox window itself. 
Version 3, compiled with the same Slackbuild, does focus the address bar 
correctly.

xdotool search "Mozilla Firefox" windowactivate \
         --sync key --clearmodifiers ctrl+l

Regards

Olivier
