Description of problem: The virtual machine console window does not fully grab keyboard input when the mouse is over the vnc widget. I have 'Grab keyboard input' set to 'On mouse over'. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-0.4.4-1.fc9.x86_64 qemu-0.9.1-6.fc9.x86_64 gtk-vnc-python-0.3.6-1.fc9.x86_64 gtk-vnc-0.3.6-1.fc9.x86_64 gtk2-2.12.11-1.fc9.x86_64 gtk2-2.12.11-1.fc9.i386 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Double-click on activate virtual machine to see console. 2.Open a window on the virtual machine's console. Keep mouse inside console. 3.Type into the window, anywhere, then press the 'Up' arrow key. Actual results: virt-manager's 'Shutdown' button now has focus. Expected results: Keyboard input still grabbed by vnc widget. Additional info: Worked fine until today.
Downgrading gtk-vnc-python/gtk-vnc to 0.3.4-4.fc9 fixes it.
I believe this is caused by this changeset changeset: 182:3b33ba158827 user: Anthony Liguori <anthony> date: Tue Mar 11 13:29:41 2008 -0500 files: src/vncdisplay.c description: Propagate key press events. This is needed for kvm-test. This causes the key event to be forwarded onto the parent widget, and the parent's parent & so on. Ultimately this gets processed by handler relating to input focus, causing the shutdown button to get highlighted.

I just installed gtk-vnc-0.3.7-1.fc9.x86_64 from koji and can confirm that the focus doesn't switch to the console toolbar anymore when pressing the "tab" or "up" keys. BUT now the console window also doesn't release the mouse pointer when pressing "ctrl+alt"!

Please do *NOT* reopen bugs to report different problems. As Torsten says there is a separate bug tracking this problem & its resolution. It is completely unconnected to this existing bug.
