[Bug 180993] Re: auto-closing popup windows swallow mouse click
As far as I remember, I did not do anything about this bug.

[Bug 180993] Re: auto-closing popup windows swallow mouse click
on Windows and on Mac a drop down or popup menu goes away when clicked away from its content and the mouse click is not wasted but received by the underlined control. It would be nice to have a similar option on linux too. I was curious, if Andreas submitted an request regarding this issue to gnome.org or freedesktop community? -- auto-closing popup windows swallow mouse click https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180993 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

that's not a gnome-panel bug, opening a menu in any gtk application does that, the menu needs to grab the events to be working correctly that's not a bug ** Changed in: gtk+2.0 (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: gnome-panel = gtk+2.0 Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- auto-closing popup windows swallow mouse click https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180993 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

The example with the volume control is indeed not valid any more. This is because the volume control is not auto closing any more (it keeps open until explicitly closed). However, this bug can still be reproduced using any pulldown menu. I'll rewrite the description accordingly. ** Description changed: At various places throughout Ubuntu, pop-up windows are used. Some of them auto-close if you click outside of their boundaries. The problem is: This auto-closing swallows the mouse click, even if the mouse is positioned over another GUI control (like a button). You have to click a second time if you want to activate that control. This is very unexpected, as usually you are not aware that the popup is still open. I've seen quite some ordinary users which were confused by the computer not recognizing their mouse click. By the way, Windows also does not swallow clicks in this situation. Steps to reproduce: - make sure your Gnome panel is visible. - - click once on the volume control icon in the panel (the popup is an auto-closing panel). - - click once on the Ubuntu start menu icon. Instead of the start menu opening, the volume control popup closes. + - pull down a menu, e.g. the Applications menu (the menu is an auto-closing panel). + - click once on the Firefox launcher. Instead of Firefox opening, the popup menu closes. This problem also affects menus that are still open, combo-boxes, etc. ** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- auto-closing popup windows swallow mouse click https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180993 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

that's not really a bug, if you care about that could you open the bug on bugzilla.gnome.org too where people writting the code will read the bug? -- auto-closing popup windows swallow mouse click https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180993 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

thank you for your bug report, the steps you describe work on intrepid, could you try if that's still an issue in the new version? ** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low Assignee: (unassigned) = Ubuntu Desktop Bugs (desktop-bugs) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- auto-closing popup windows swallow mouse click https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180993 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
