From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031027 Galeon/1.3.10 Description of problem: I cannot focus the dictionnary applet entry by moving the mouse upon the entry nor by clicking into it. If i press Ctrl-Alt-Tab until the panel is focused then it's okay and i can fill the entry. I think it's a bug in metacity sloppy focus behaviour, because if i use the click-to-focus, the applet is rightly focused when clicking on it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): metacity(0:2.6.3-1).i386 gnome-panel(0:2.4.0-3) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add the dictionnary applet to a gnome-panel 2. Configure metacity not to use click-to-focus 3. Try to enter a word in the entry of the applet Actual Results: keyboard event is sent to the focused window (which is not the panel), and clicking in the entry doesnt help.
The same bug exists for Command Line applet.
I can confirm this same behaviour with command line applet.
This is a metacity bug - moving there ...
Mark: Did you actually move it? (If so, do you remember the bug number so I can mark duplicates there?) Also, this is a duplicate of bug 108674 in redhat bugzilla and bug 115072 in gnome bugzilla. This bug has since been fixed.
