I originally installed Oneiric and upgraded before the alpha 1 release. When using an application that needs administrative access, I notice that the password dialog box loses focus easily, and I can end up typing the password in places where it's easily visible. Examples are a nautilus search area, terminal window or draft email. Mostly I'm using Gnome fallback, though I've observed the same behaviour in Unity 2D as well. I'm still not clear what is causing the loss of focus. Sometimes it's because I've clicked on something else, but not always. Nor does the dialog always lose focus. An authentication box called by explicitly typing gksu doesn't lose focus. The screen dims as well, which is not happening with the other dialogs. I'm not sure what the proper package to report against is, so feel free to move to wherever it's appropriate.

[Bug 946171] Re: Authentication dialog window loses focus easily - Ubuntu 12.04
policykit-gnome presently uses stale timestamps to focus the password dialog--it should use a timestamp that is as fresh as the user input that triggered its focus. Maybe metacity should be more forgiving with buggy application-provided timestamps, but this report is about policykit-gnome. If you think metacity is buggy, feel free to find/create another report about that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/946171 Title: Authentication dialog window loses focus easily - Ubuntu 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/policykit-gnome/+bug/946171/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I see that issue with nautilus too, but I believe that is a separate bug, although it may be similar in source. I've uploaded a test policykit-1-gnome package for 12.04 to my ppa here: https://launchpad.net/~jeff250/+archive/ppa Please upgrade the policykit-1-gnome package, log out, log in, and test it and report your feedback. I also tried to upload a 12.10 test package, but launchpad yelled at me since it's essentially the same package as the 12.04 package modulo the changelog (12.10 hasn't changed the package yet since 12.04). But quantal users can still test it by manually adding the precise repository, or by manually installing one of the debs here: http://ppa.launchpad.net/jeff250/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/p/policykit-1-gnome/ I'm also attaching the debdiff patches. ** Patch added: Proposed debdiff for precise https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-gnome/+bug/946171/+attachment/3238967/+files/policykit-1-gnome_0.105-1ubuntu4.precise.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/946171 Title: Authentication dialog window loses focus easily - Ubuntu 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/policykit-gnome/+bug/946171/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
