Title:
Unity integration gets broken with compiz's focus prevention plugin
Status in pidgin package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
It seems Pidgin unity integration plugin very much depends on focus
prevention plugin(compiz) to work properly.
By default focus prevention plugin is set to low which prevents any
window to gain focus if a full-screen app is running. Now in pidgin
preference, "Hide new IM conversations" is set to "ALWAYS" which
always brings IM window in focus and thus bypassing messaging menu
altogether. It only works as compiz prevents the IM window to gain
focus. But this compiz behavior is not very reliable and most times,
only work properly if a app is running FULL-SCREEN.
How to reproduce:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenario 1: (focus prevention= low, Hide new IM conversations= Always)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Configure a jabber account.
2. Open any other and run it fullscreen.
3. Send a IM to yourself from a different account (from mobile, webapp or
from any other pc)
4. Indicator will turn blue.
5. Clicking on the source message brings IM window to focus.
However if mo full screen app is running, pidgin will immediately
brings IM window, sometimes bypassing the messaging menu. It still
doesn't get focus due to focus-prevention settings.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenario 2: (focus prevention= off, Hide new IM conversations= Always)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Configure a jabber account.
2. Open any other and run it fullscreen.
3. Send a IM to yourself from a different account (from mobile, webapp or
from any other pc)
4. This immediately brings IM window to focus and thus completely
bypassing the messaging menu.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenario 3: (focus prevention= off, Hide new IM conversations= Never)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Configure a jabber account.
2. Open any other and run it fullscreen.
3. Send a IM to yourself from a different account (from mobile, webapp or
from any other pc)
4. Indicator will turn blue.
5. However clicking source message in messaging menu doesn't do anything. IM
window stays hidden.
So it seems, setting "Hide new IM conversations= Never" makes unity
integration useless. It heavily depends on two major condition:
1. focus prevention = on (default condition)
2. Hide new IM conversations= Always (default condition ?)
Even if it can depend on condition 2, it should not depend on Compiz's
focus prevention plugin.
