Description

Hi, Something is strange. The last time Openoffice.org was updated, was Feb. 17. I've used Openoffice.org a lot lately, but I can't think of this issue was present. Two, or may be three days ago the issue showed up for the first time. So I'm not sure - I doubt - if Openoffice.org is the 'trouble maker'. I've no idea what can make the file-menu to open. Hope this info can help. Martin Kho Btw. My system is fully updated. Adobe Flash is the only proprietary software I use. Hi, Update on this mysterious issue. There seems to be an interference with totem(-mozplugin)/gstreamer. I've found out that looking at some streaming video - I was looking at speed skating - in Firefox, the issue in writer shows up. Closing the totem-plugin 'solves' the issue. Totem: * totem-pl-parser-2.28.2-1.fc12.x86_64 * totem-2.28.5-1.fc12.x86_64 * totem-mozplugin-2.28.5-1.fc12.x86_64 Gstreamer: * gstreamer.x86_64-0.10.25.1-3.fc12 @updates * gstreamer-ffmpeg.x86_64-0.10.9-1.fc12 @rpmfusion-free * gstreamer-plugins-bad.x86_64-0.10.17-2.fc12 @rpmfusion-free-updates * gstreamer-plugins-bad-extras.x86_64-0.10.17-2.fc12 @rpmfusion-free-updates * gstreamer-plugins-base.x86_64-0.10.25.1-2.fc12 @updates * gstreamer-plugins-flumpegdemux.x86_64-0.10.15-8.fc12 @fedora * gstreamer-plugins-good.x86_64-0.10.17-4.fc12 @updates * gstreamer-plugins-ugly.x86_64-0.10.13-1.fc12 @rpmfusion-free * gstreamer-rtsp.x86_64-0.10.4-1.fc12 @fedora * gstreamer-tools.x86_64-0.10.25.1-3.fc12 @updates Hope this helps, Martin Kho Sorry, what!. You mean start writer, look at a video in firefox and the file menu in writer opens up ? Do you have a url/web-site that demonstrates this ? Hi, Yes, it was a big surprise for me too! 1) Start this stream (Dutch politics): mms://emil07.omroep.nl/thema_politiek24-bb-public?/nos/politiek24-bb&md5=9df41ace73eede71ec564794c3fd2535&t=4b94da50 2) Start Writer 3) Wait a while ... 4) Keep looking at writer and the file-menu opens, at least on my machine.

Martin Kho Hi, Comment #5 was posted, because I got an 'collision'. sorry. Martin Kho Hi, If you don't like Dutch politics, which I can imagine :-) you can also go to: http://news.steelers.com/teamPass/support/stream/ Choose http or mms stream. Both causes the file-menu to open. Martin Kho Don't see it myself. Any specific customizations to the default KWin config ?. OOo just has to be launched after starting off the video, right. Is it just in the background, or on another workspace or iconized or anything like that. My only vague theory is that there's some odd XSendEvent being inadvertently sent to OOo from something else. What's slightly unusual about OOo, is that F-10 or holding down the Alt key causes the file menu to open, but in all those cases OOo has to have the focus. Hi, I've six virtual desktops in KDE. On desktop four sits Firefox and Totem-mozplugin streaming a mms-stream. On desktop five or six I launched OOo-writer. Ooo-writer is having the focus, i.e. desktop five or six is visible. I didn't hit any keys. Hope this helps, Martin Kho Well, what d'ya know. Reproducible. Somebody is sending a ALT keycode to OOo. totem-plugin-viewer due to the screensaver disable code using XTestFakeKeyEvent lib/totem-scrsaver.c sends an Left Alt keycode to the Display, so if the video is playing in a browser and OOo is in the foreground then OOo gets an "Alt" key and acts as per its usual behaviour for that. Hi, Thanks for you wonderful searching! No 'people' from Mars? :-) So Totem needs to 'press' another key. Do I have to file a bug against Totem with this bug as a reference?

That would only happen when gnome-screensaver isn't running. Hi Bastien, So it happens, because gnome-screensaver isn't installed/running in KDE. Are you telling me, that I've to run gnome-screensaver? Martin Kho Hi, This report can be closed, because I've removed totem. So I'm not able to report if this issue is solved or not. Thanks, Martin Kho *** Bug 603693 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Apparently, not only Totem is causing the problem: when you open this online radio on Firefox, the problem occurs as well: http://m80.clix.pt/player/frame_player_6_4.asp?speed=3&# I do not think Totem is behind, as it appears that is flash that plays the stream.

Please, ignore the above comment: I have just confirmed that totem-plugin-viewer is indeed used to play the mentioned online radio. Sorry about that, Paul This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. *** Bug 670880 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Please, reopen this bug, as it still persists on F14. Paul Please, try to fix this bug as soon as possible, as it is very annoying to be working with OpenOffice and having the File-menu popping up so very often. Paul It should be noted that this also occurs with the standalone totem (1:2.32.0-1.fc14) player, not just the totem plugin. ~Sirius *** Bug 676119 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Interesting. Yesterday I had this problem and closing totem player resolved it. I thought I had a stuck ALT key. Today, cannot reproduce. But the gnome screensaver doesn't kick in. Dangerous in office environments. Additionally, there is an option in totem player (Preferences->Display) which says: "Disable screensaver when playing [ ] Video [X] Video or Audio" Maybe that helps?
