Public bug reported:
(I apologize if gtk+3.0 is the wrong package; it was a guess.)
I'm using Gnome Shell under Ubuntu 12.04. I observe that system dialog
boxes disable their text and buttons when the dialog loses focus, and
re-enable them when the dialog regains focus. This is new behavior in
12.04 (cropping up sometime during the beta period) and I suspect it is
not intentional.
To reproduce, run the following command from the shell:
% zenity --info --title=Foo --text=Bar
Initially the text control ("Foo") and the button control ("OK") are
both rendered in black. Now give the focus to any other window. Notice
how the text and button controls are both disabled (turn gray) when the
dialog loses focus. If you click on the dialog box it re-enables the
text and button controls. This is poor UI--the UI should be stable
under the user's feet.
Note that this is not just a Zenity bug; I see the same behavior with
the force-close-this-unresponsive-program? dialog displayed by the
shell.
I don't see how to mark this sort of metadata, but obviously this bug is
low priority and appearance-only. It does not affect the usability of
Ubuntu.
