Description of problem: Havoc suggests that there is a Gtk problem here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117240 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=149327 For example: focus-follows-mouse into tabbed gnome-terminals unless there is a dotted box in the tab. The dotted box can be obtained by double-clicking on the tab, which is perhaps intended behavior, but also by click-drag on the tab such as by slight motion of the mouse when the user is selecting the tab. The user is then surprised that text entry doesn't work in the terminal area even though the mouse is over the main terminal window. This is still true even after the mouse leaves the terminal altogether and then returns. Epiphany tabs exhibit the same behavior, but it matters less there because the user is not expecting to enter text into the main window. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gtk2-2.6.4-2 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Desktop->Preferences->Windows->"Select windows when the mouse moves over them" 2.gnome-terminal with multiple tabs 3.click-drag over the currently active tab (not doubleclick) Actual results: No focus in the main terminal area Expected results: Focus follows mouse into the main terminal area of gnome-terminal Additional info:
Please don't jump bugzillas like this. If there is a genuine GTK+ problem, it needs to be filed upstream at bugzilla.gnome.org
I don't know what "jump bugzilas" means. The Fedora user needs a single place to file bugs. If it needs to go somehere else then thats a triage issue.
I meant that this issue seems to have started as a bug in Fedora bugzilla, jumped to gnome bugzilla, then jumped back to Fedora bugzilla.
Its hard to recall since this was reported over a year ago. I think I first reported a problem against gnome terminal. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=149327 but then wanted to ensure it was also reported agains gtk2 in Redhat's Bugzilla (this report) as gtk2 seemed more likely to be the problem. I did not jump any bugzilla's. I just added a reference to a possibly related problem in gnome's bugzilla. The problem still exists today in Fedora, so this bug should not be closed. If triage has forwarded it upstream, then a status of something like "pending upstream" would be OK, but not "closed" or other users will not be able to find that the issue is already being investigated.
In an ideal world maybe. But in reality, the day only has 24 hours, and genuine gtk bugs (as opposed to packaging bugs) are tracked upstream in gnome bugzilla. I don't want them to clog up my fedora/rhel bug lists.
