openbox rc file

Quoting from the Debian bug report:
Configuration (rc.xml):
... <followMouse>yes</followMouse> ...
... <keybind key="W-Tab"> <action name="ShowMenu"> 
  <menu>client-list-combined-menu</menu> ...
... <keybind key="A-Tab"> <action name="NextWindow"/> ...

When switching windows through client-list menu (activated by hotkey), if
after showing selected window there's different window under the mouse
cursor, it becomes selected after focusDelay time. However, when switching
with A-Tab hotkey (NextWindow), it behaves as it should, e.g. selected
window stays selected even if mouse is on different window.

There is a video online that shows this behaviour:

I am not able to reproduce this with 3.4.7.2 using your config file.

are you sure you tried exactly what is noted in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=517038#15? because initially i was also not able to reproduce what he tells but following these steps with his config i could reproduce this behaviour.
