RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Oliver Ilian 2016-04-21 14:52:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
Evolution reminder window blocks window switch via "Alt + Tab"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-3.12.11-15.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time a reminder window comes up

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a appointment with a reminder
2. wait for the reminder window to come up
3.

Actual results:
As soon as the pop up comes up, pressing "Alt + Tab" does not switch to another window (clicking via mouse works)

Expected results:
"Alt + Tab" should still switch between windows, and only let the reminder window stay "Always on top"

Comment 2 Milan Crha 2016-04-25 09:52:58 UTC 
Thanks for a bug report. I tested this and it seems to me it's some fault of the gnome-shell, because I can reproduce it in it, but not when using the Classic mode.

My reproducer was:
a) make sure the reminder is shown in a dialog with:
   $ gsettings set org.gnome.evolution.calendar notify-with-tray false
b) create a new appointment in a calendar which is setup to be checked for
   reminders (the On This Computer/Personal usually is)
c) if there's needed a re-test, then the easiest thing is to edit the
   appointment and move its start by one minute to the future.

I checked how the dialog is created and there is nothing special about it [1][2].

Florian, did you want to build a fix for this ?
