| Doc Text: |
Previously, if a Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) application triggered a pop-up dialog displayed on top of the application, the events generated by this dialog were in some cases received not by the original application, but the application currently in focus. As a consequence, interacting with the dialog sometimes did not have the expected effect. This update fixes the underlying code, and SWT application pop-up dialogs now affect the appropriate application.

Since SWT is using GTK, we've recreated the problem using pure GTK. We also took it a step further and recreated the problem with Xlib. Please see updated comments here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780485#c9 Based on the discussion with the Mutter developer Rui Matos, I have opened an SWT ticket. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=516907 Rui Matos has provided a patch for the issue for Mutter. I don't know the Gnome process of the patch getting approval and into a release. Presuming it gets approval, I don't know what release would have the patch. (In reply to Nate Jensen from comment #5) > Presuming it gets approval, I don't know what release would have the patch. I'm asking for an exception for 7.4, otherwise the fix would be postponed to 7.5. Tested manually on x86_64 (virtual machine). To reproduce, I used the example provided in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780485#c10 Before compilation, I had to install gcc, pango-devel, gtk3-devel, atk-devel and their dependencies. Then I was able to compile the gtkExample like this: gcc `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0` `pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0` gtkExample.c -o repro In Gnome Classic I first run ./repro and a small window only containing 1 button appeared. Then I opened Nautilus window and placed it over the "repro" window. The "repro" window stood on top. Then I tried to click the button in the "repro" window. Results: RHEL 7.3 (RC-3.0), mutter-3.14.4-31.el7.x86_64: - The "repro" window did not close. The mouse click was recieved by Nautilus. - Problem reproduced. RHEL 7.4, mutter-3.22.3-10.el7.x86_64: - The "repro" window closed - it correctly recieved the mouse click. - Fix verified.
