Yes, this is a known problem. It can also happen if you have two
overlapping edit screens. IMHO, the best way to deal with it is to
convince your WM to raise windows, and tell Epoch not to, via (setq
auto-raise-screen nil). I also add a (raise-screen) to my screen
hopping keys so that if I use the keywboard instead of the mouse,
things work better.
