I am a bit puzzled what is going on. Are you saying the mouse
leaves the screen completely? On a plain X setup this can not
happen. If so, your X is probably configured for multiple screens
and the pointer moves to the second screen. Loss of focus is
normal in that case. Remove the second screen from the X config
file (/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 on my machine).
