FVWM: Sometimes one of Claws-mail's windows can't take focus

Hello,
I'm using Gentoo
claws-mail-3.9.0
fvwm-2.6.5
I used the fvwm95 setup script and have focus follows mouse and
TileManualPlacement.
I maximize claws-mail and open a compose email window. I go back and do
stuff with claws-mail, switch workspaces, even go to other Consoles
(Ctrl-Alt-F??). Sometimes the compose window does not ever get focus back
the key bindings are still in claws as is the mouse, though the cursor
shows up in the compose window permanently, it's not movable though. If
I open up more compose windows they also can't get focus.
This started about two months ago, I may have upgraded fvwm, claws,
or xorg-server as I use emerge update.
I have rebooted the machine since then.
I typically close claws and then restart it and it works.
Other windows opened in the same desktop get correct focus.
I don't know if this is a claws problem or fvwm so feel free to point me
their way.

Thanks, David
