Package: fbpanel
Version: 4.3-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Hi!
It seems fbpanel has a very problematic bug.
Steps to reproduce:
* start a fluxbox session with fbpanel on
* open some windows (XTerm or any other graphical application that opens
a window)
* take a look at the taskbar: there's one item for each window and
everything seems OK
* choose a window (make sure you do _not_ choose one that runs an
application with important unsaved data loaded!) and click on the
fluxbox-provided "minimize" button (the _ symbol in the right end of
the upper border, in most themes)
* the taskbar item correctly shows square brackets around the window
title
* try to get your window back on the desktop
- clicking on the taskbar item with the left or middle mouse button
does not seem to help (nothing happens, basically)
- clicking on the taskbar item with the right mouse button and
selecting "Raise" or "Iconify" from the pop-up menu does not seem to
help (nothing happens)
- any other way to get the window back?
* switching to another workspace and then back to the current one does
not seem to help (the item is still locked in the taskbar)
* the only exit strategy seems to be the following 'suicide': select
"Close Window" from the above-mentioned pop-up menu and thus kill
the application, possibly causing data loss (whenever unsaved data
are stored in the process memory of the application that gets killed)
I think this bug is grave, because it can cause data loss (even serious
data loss, so maybe it's critical!?!)
However, if there's something that I failed to understand, I would be
eager to read an explanation.
My ~/.fbpanel/default follows:
