Is this something new you've seen with rhel7? Thanks.

Comment 3 Asha Akkiangady 2013-11-21 18:53:15 UTC
Yeah, this problem is new, on RHEL 7.

Comment 4 Jack Magne 2013-11-26 18:00:19 UTC
Looking into this. This appears to be a more general problem with javascript pop-ups not coming to the front.

Still trying to figure out what is going on here and what to do.

Comment 5 Jack Magne 2013-11-27 18:46:52 UTC
Still working the problem. My recent fix to disable notifications caused a side effect that affected this issue. Will try to solve the issue with javascript as best that can be done.

Comment 6 Jack Magne 2013-11-27 23:10:09 UTC
Latest build addresses the most obvious cases of windows not popping up to the top.

The phone home dialog and the auth dialog should be fine. There could be some corner cases with the popup esc enrollment dialog.

Testing should make sure that basic functionality is preserved with this build.

Comment 8 Jack Magne 2013-12-06 18:16:28 UTC
DOC:

This release addresses ESC issues with pop up dialogs not gaining top focus. The main case addressed is the one where the ESC Phone Home dialog may launch behind other windows. The fix should address this issue.

Verified on esc-1.1.0-27.el7.x86_64
