New submission from Patrick Melix <git...@melix.me>:
While trying to fix window behaviour in a python project (ASE: https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/ase/), I came across this problem: Tkinter does not set the _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE when using the FileDialog class or it's derivatives. I could not find a reason for this and it leads to my window manager (i3) not automatically recognising the window as a dialogue (and thus not enabling floating). I think the window types are there exactly for that purpose, so I don't see why not to set this as the default for the FileDialog class. I was able to change this by adding the line ```self.top.wm_attributes('-type', 'dialog')``` to the initialization of the FileDialog class. See also MR on GitHub. Since I am an absolute beginner at this please do forgive if I missed something. ---------- components: Tkinter messages: 389676 nosy: patrickmelix priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Tkinter: Not setting _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE on FileDialog type: enhancement versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43655> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
