[Bug 56478] gnome-panel dies when screenreader is enabled and...
Public bug reported: OK, in Dapper, if I enable the Screenreader option in the Assistive Technology Preferences, gnome-panel (and epiphany) die unexpectedly at certain times. I can reproduce this by doing the following: - Log on to GNOME desktop. - Close Gnoppernicus (optional, doesn't change anything). - Hit ALT+F2, type in xcalc or vncviewer and hit Enter. - gnome-panel crashes. Disabling the Screenreader and restarting GNOME shows this issue disappears. The desired behavior is that gnome-panel does not crash. The other issue is that sometimes Epiphany just crashes too, but doesn't if Screenreader is disabled. ** Affects: gail (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- gnome-panel dies when screenreader is enabled and... https://launchpad.net/bugs/56478 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 51837] renaming file losing focus while video thumbnails appear
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus When I go into a folder with several images or videos, the thumbnailer is doing its job generating thumbnails to preview the files. But when I try to rename a file, the focus is shifted away from the filename field to nothing. This often results in files with no meaningful name, and is very frustrating to try and rename a file under GNOME. The only solution is to sit there and wait for every thumbnail to finish being generated or to turn off file previews, but this is not a solution that fixes the focus automatically shifting away from the renaming of the file. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- renaming file losing focus while video thumbnails appear https://launchpad.net/bugs/51837 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 33315] Re: Tooltip for logout applet is misleading
Am I wrong in thinking that in Windows you have a Log Out option and that provides a similar dialog with several other options? If that is the case, then there are much bigger issues that new users have with Windows than the log out menu option. Changing it to something else like Stop Session or Leave Computer or whatever is going to confuse even experienced Windows users. I think it is fine the way it is now, as far as the option text goes, with the tooltip needing to be changed (I haven't done my daily update yet, so it might not still say what it says). Log out username.. isn't really confusing, and I think it is a better option than any others suggested.

[Bug 38694] Re: No XChat in Dapper
Sometimes developers don't know what is best for their user base. But in this instance, I think the decision is fine. Xchat-gnome has issues in itself (removing features such as the clear chat buffer option, meaning I can't hit CTRL+L as I could before, and can in Gaim). I still use it currently despite that, but I can install it afterwords if I want. Or I can install Xchat if I want to. Or anything else for that matter. It's really not hard to install an IRC client if you need one more robust than Gaim. I won't be using Gaim for IRC, and I won't be using the Live Support option from the help menu. So, the decision doesn't affect me in any way, aside from now, removing the Xchat-gnome app doesn't remove ubuntu-desktop with it. So that's a good thing. For new users - the ones who will be most likely to use that menu option - using Gaim is a good option, and I think that those who know no better - don't even know what IRC is - will appreciate the apparent integration of such a help system into their MSN/Yahoo/AIM client. -- No XChat in Dapper https://launchpad.net/bugs/38694 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I should note that the system gets unresponsive and requires I reset the power if Evolution is left open very long.

See the attached log file from my last note, and you can see that when left running, Evolution gets very memory intensive, so much to the point that all of my RAM and swap are used and I can't even do anything on my system - not even close Evolution to try and free up the memory.

[Bug 32457] Screensaver activates while playing a game
Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/32457 Comment: Loic, all the games I tested that activated the screensaver while playing were SDL games that used the keyboard only. Some of them would prevent the screensaver from coming on if you moved the mouse, but not all of them. (moving the mouse in games that do not require it is not any more of a solution than moving the mouse every 9 minutes while watching a movie). I no longer have the time to file bugs on every single game as I thought I would, but because the ones I did test were all using SDL, I think the better option is indeed to file this single bug under SDL, and add something to the keyboard handler routine or so. Note that this would also have the benefit of fixing commercial games (which are NOT going to be fixed by having their own bugs opened in this bug tracker) such as Professor Fizzwizzle, which is also on the list of games that use SDL and do not use the mouse and do not prevent the screensaver from activating. Reporting bugs on 25-30 games individually is going to substantially increase open bug reports, email traffic, and the Ubuntu-debian delta. I think we ought to take the efficient route. Getting one patch for SDL accepted upstream will likely be much easier than 25-30 different games. And commercial games on top of that. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I couldn't get it to go away without hitting escape several times, exiting Frozen Bubble, losing my progress in the game. --- UPDATED DESCRIPTION: The screensaver activates with many (perhaps all?) SDL games that do not require mouse input to play. Some of these games can remove the screensaver upon moving the mouse, but not all of them, and this is not a solution. It also affects commercial games such as Professor Fizzwizzle that use SDL. If a patch can be added to libsdl, then this should fix all games and apps that use it, avoiding individual patches for every affected game.

[Bug 32457] Screensaver activates while playing a game
Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/32457 Task: ubuntu gnome-screensaver Status: Unconfirmed = Confirmed Comment: I took the time to register and report this bug upstream, as dholbach suggested on IRC, and just as I suspected, they closed it saying it isn't a bug. BUT, the purpose of a screensaver is not to mess up end users who are playing games or watching movies. Its purpose is to do two basic things: 1) Allow the screen to be locked while being temporarily away from the PC 2) To have something constantly moving on the screen (or alternately have a blank screen), to avoid burn-in images. If I am watching a movie or playing a game, I am not going to be temporarily away from the PC, and locking the screen is not something I will want to do, so #1 is not needed. If I am playing a game or watching a movie, then the screen is constantly changing, and therefore I am avoiding burn-in images, nullifying #2. I am not the only one who found this functionality to be a pain, and I think that the upstream attitude of it should be changed in every other application is wrong. Xscreensaver used to work just fine, and I think that given the circumstances, it should remain default in Dapper, until either upstream changes their tune, or every other application (which may or may not be actively maintianed) modifies all of their applications to work around a new screensaver design. The alternative is to leave gnome-screensaver as default and deal with many unsatisfied and annoyed users. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
