I was directed to this bug report by Jonas in <https://code.launchpad.net/~jonas-drange/ubuntu-system-settings/allow- insecure-hotspot/+merge/269671>, where "activeFocusOnPress: false" is added to a checkbox because it happens to be in the same dialog as a text field. If approved, that will be the 11th place in ubuntu-system- settings where this bug is being worked around, and probably there are more in indicators.
I think there are two bugs here. Fixing either of them would resolve the reported symptom, but really, both should be fixed. 1. A text field should not lose focus every time you press elsewhere. It should lose focus when you press *and* release on a control that can take focus, or when you press on a control where dragging is meaningful. Try this in the browser you're using right now: focus the address field, press on a built-in toolbar button -- for example, the Downloads button in Firefox, or the Home button in Chromium/Chrome -- and drag out of it to cancel before releasing. The text field doesn't lose focus. But if you do the same with another text field -- such as the search field in Firefox -- or with a bookmark, which is draggable, the address field does lose focus immediately. A button is not in the category of controls where dragging is meaningful, therefore -- whether or not it takes focus itself -- it should not cause the field to lose focus. (Eventually we should have this spelled out in the toolkit spec.) 2. Dismissing the OSK should not cause a dialog to be recentered on the screen. You might focus another field in the dialog a second or two later, and repeated recentering would be unpleasant. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1415023 Title: [Dialog] if keyboard is present, buttons and derivatives have to be pressed twice To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-system-settings/+bug/1415023/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
