From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: I cannot type into the command line applet in the gnome panels. I have my desktop set to pointer focus (which seems to be the old 'sloppy focus'). When I move the mouse into the command line applet to type a command, the focus remains with the last application window the cusor was in and the keystrokes are reported to that application. Clicking in the command applet does NOT help. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.1-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set focus to pointer (Preferences | Window | click select when mouse moves over) 2. Add command line applet to panel (right click in panel | Add to Panel | Utility | Command Line) 3. Move mouse to applet and type something. Actual Results: Key strokes are 'typed' into the last application window the cursor was in (the window with the highlighted border). Expected Results: The keystrokes should be typed into the command line applet. Additional info: I'm 'synced' with the rawhide directory.
I'm pretty sure this got fixed since - I believe it was a metacity bug.
