[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider
[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies,
[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example.
To me, It seems a perfectly reasonable request to want Emacs do certain
things (eg save all files) when it loses input focus.
That is a bizarre thing to do. The right way to handle this is auto-save,
which operates whether you change focus or not, and doesn't alter the
files someone else will really look at.
There is no accounting for tastes, but I don't think a questionable
feature should be installed so people can do something so strange.
As for debugging, same procedure as always: does it happen with emacs -Q?
If not, it's something in your config, so bisect .emacs until you find
the line that causes it.
I don't think you understand the problem. The problem is how to debug
a program when switching windows to the debugger triggers it to do
something.
