From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Description of problem: When the focus in metacity (Preferences > Window) is set on "Select windows when the mouse moves over them", I am unable to rename folders and launchers on the desktop. When I right-click on a folder and select "Rename...", the title of the icon is surrrounded with a retangular box and the pointer changes to the text-editing "I" shape, but no cursor appears in that box and I am unable to modify the title's text. All I can do is highlight the text with the mouse pointer. When I change the focus model to `click-to-focus', it works properly-- after clicking "Rename...", I can enter and modify the text properly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-2.4.0-7 metacity-2.6.3-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set Preferences > Window > "Select windows when the mouse moves over them" to true. 2. Right-click on a folder and select "Rename..." 3. Click in the text box around the folder title and type text. Actual Results: The typed text is not recognized, the folder title doesn't change. Expected Results: The folder title SHOULD change (and DOES under a different focus model). Additional info:
With the latest cvs code, this works, unless there is a window under the icon that the context menu overlaps. Then you need to click in the rename window to let you edit it. I'm not sure there is a good solution that avoids this.
in rawhide now.
