I added a test case for the SRU but I'm not in the best position to judge if that are ideal test-case instructions. Please update if appropriate, I will upload to lucid-proposed now. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-session + + + TEST CASE: + 1) Open a terminal + 2) Doubleclick on the titlebar of the terminal to maximize the window + 3) Open a folder + 4) Pressing (X) on the folder closes the terminal (!), not the folder. + + 5) install version from maverick-proposed + 6) relogin + 7) redo 1-4 and verify that 4 is no longer a issue Just recently, I have noticed with Karmic and my laptop that clicking on the window title bar focuses the wrong window. It happens mostly when I click and drag, expecting to move the window from one monitor to the other. Often the window is maximized. In my setup, I have a laptop with an external monitor enabled via xrandr. The problem occurs with both my DVI and my VGA output. I put my laptop into standby when I leave work and wake it back up at home, so I switch between the monitors in one gnome-session. My LnF is custom, using Human-Clearlooks and a custom Window Border I found on the gnome look site called BlendedSmallDoubleRound. It isn't 100% reproducible but does happen quite often. I never had this problem in Ubuntu pre-Karmic.

[Bug 494096] Re: Clicking the title of a window is bringing a window underneath it into focus
This is a critical issue which can lead to: 1. security compromise: a process is running in a terminal, which can get closed by a mis-click. This is now open to being spoofed by someone while you're gone, to e.g. steal your password. Alternatively, let's say it was a firewall, which is now removed. 2. lost work (there are comments here that mention this has cost people considerable amounts of money) 3. instability (you disable an important part of the system) 4. data corruption (data is overwritten because it goes into the wrong window as per one of the comments above) There has been a patch for this *critical* issue over a year now (!) and there is a fix in 10.10 since the very release. There is absolutely no reason for the harsh wait until 29/07/2011. Taking 5 months for something that takes 5 seconds, when there's a critical issue on hand, is not the way forward. The alternative of poisoning your system with PPA's or self-compiled software is not acceptable. Switching to a non- LTS release is not a solution either.

Additional note: reproduction on the non-PPA version is no longer 100% reliable for me. It worked best with Synaptic opened in the background (it opens maximized; terminal #2 failed on 2 of 2 trials), but opening Firefox maximized didn't expose the bug (1 trial). Still, repeatedly opening gnome-terminal, maximizing it, and repeating failed when the click on terminal #4's titlebar brought terminal #3 into focus instead (1 trial). With this new knowledge, I retested the PPA version. I couldn't get it to fail, even opening firefox or synaptic, followed by 13 terminals (1 trial each).

From an empty desktop freshly started, with a gnome terminal launcher in the upper panel : - launch gnome terminal - double click on title bar - it's now maximized - launch a new gnome terminal - there's now the old maximized gnome terminal in the background and the new windowed gnome terminal in the foreground - grab-and-move the title bar of the *new* windowed gnome terminal - the *old* maximized one is unmaximized and moved instead of the new one -- Clicking the title of a window is bringing a window underneath it into focus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494096 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 494096] Re: Clicking the title of a window is bringing a window underneath it into focus
I've manage to consistently reproduce it: 1) I have 2 windows open. One of them is restored, i.e. not maximized neither minimized. The state of the other window doesn't matter. 2) I double click on the title bar of the restored window to maximize it (the problem doesn't happen if I click on the maximize button instead). 3) I press [Alt]+[Tab] to go to the second window. 4) I try to click/drag the second window from the title bar. Instead, the first window is clicked/dragged. -- Clicking the title of a window is bringing a window underneath it into focus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494096 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 494096] Re: Clicking the title of a window is bringing a window underneath it into focus
I haven't tried the proposed patch, I just want to note something I noticed today: Maximized window underneath⎽☐☒ Non-maximized window on top ⎽☐☒ I tried to click on the close button of a not-maximized window. I saw the close button of the maximized window underneath it getting highlighted + clicked even though that button wasn't below the mouse! So the mouse coordinates are translated relatively to the window on top, even though they take effect on the window behind. -- Clicking the title of a window is bringing a window underneath it into focus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494096 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 494096] Re: Clicking the title of a window is bringing a window underneath it into focus
I have exactly the same issue when running in dual-monitor set up in Lucid Lynx. When I start grabbing one window to position it on another monitor I end up grabbing completely different window instead. This happens for me in non-compositing mode (running nouveau) and this is quite irritating. ** Also affects: metacity via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608296 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- Clicking the title of a window is bringing a window underneath it into focus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494096 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 494096] Re: Clicking the title of a window is bringing a window underneath it into focus
It seems like this only happens with certain themes... After switching my window borders to New Wave it seems like it's not happening anymore. It also doesn't happen when using compiz, even with themes that screw up metacity. The original poster also mentioned that he uses multiple monitors, and so do I. The other posters haven't mentioned whether they do or not but maybe that's also required to see the problem. Somehow it seems like the problem is some interaction between metacity and certain themes, including the default Human one, and possibly relating to using multiple monitors. -- Clicking the title of a window is bringing a window underneath it into focus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494096 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 494096] Re: Clicking the title of a window is bringing a window underneath it into focus
I can confirm this. It started happening in 9.10 for me too, and it's still happening on my freshly installed Lucid. It's rather annoying because the lost clicks randomly affect the applications below the focused window: they may e.g. close an application by hitting its [X] button, or they may even delete stuff by clicking on some Cut/Delete/Paste button, and the user may not even notice it, as the application where that happens isn't focused! ** Changed in: metacity (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- Clicking the title of a window is bringing a window underneath it into focus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494096 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

This bug only started occuring to me in 9.10 (I don't remember whether it was an upgrade or a fresh install), things were OK in 9.04. I also have Compiz disabled. The bug is very annoying, especially when the wrong window gets closed :-| I'm starting to teach myself to first click on the title bar or on the window that I'm going to close or move in order to ensure that it gets the focus, but I don't (and shouldn't) always remember to do that. -- Clicking the title of a window is bringing a window underneath it into focus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494096 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 494096] Re: Clicking the title of a window is bringing a window underneath it into focus
I've seen this as well. I also have Compiz effects turned off. For me to replicate this easily, I need only maximize my Firefox window, Maximize a terminal window that was previously not maximized (I do so by double-clicking the titlebar), Alt-Tab back to Firefox, and if I double- click the titlebar or click the minimize button or click the normalize button or the close button, the click affects the previously active window, in this case the gnome-terminal. So if I minimize the Firefox window, it instead minimizes the gnome-terminal window. I moved the file .gconf/apps/metacity out of the way, rebooted, and it hasn't affected anything. If it matters, the metacity folder did not get recreated after reboot as I would have expected. -- Clicking the title of a window is bringing a window underneath it into focus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494096 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
