Why xdotool is not clicking when restoring position?
xdotool mousemove --sync 4000 1000 click 1 mousemove restore
If I don't restore the position, it works, example:
xdotool mousemove --sync 4000 1000 click 1
EDIT1: What I've tried
eval "$(xdotool getmouselocation --shell)"
xdotool mousemove --sync 4000 1000
xdotool click 1
xdotool mousemove --screen $SCREEN $X $Y
To my surprise, it also does not click.
command-line xdotool

Your application may need you to wait for it to get focus before it accepts button events. If possible, use windowactivate to get the window focused first, or if not, do a short sleep .2 say, after the mousemove and before the click.
