Description of problem: gnome-terminal in F10 has a tendency to trigger the detach tab function unintentionally. This behaviour shows on all 3 of my F10 machines and did not show under F9 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-terminal-2.24.1-2.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: random Steps to Reproduce: 1. work in one tab of many 2. switch to either another tab or another desktop 3. do something else there 4. switch back to the desktop with multi-tabbed gnome-terminal or switch from one tab to another Actual results: in 10-20% of the switchings I find the tab I want to go to detached from my gnome-terminal window. I have not yet found a way to explicitly trigger this, it just happens from time to time and often enough to be an annoyance. Expected results: tab only detaches if I click it and move my mouse coursor by a non-small number of pixels (say 20) Additional info:
This bug is still present on F11 and It's making use of gnome-terminal a very frustrating experience.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
closing. either recent gnome-terminal is less sensitive, or I have subconsciously learned to operate it in a way that does not trigger tab-detaching unintentionally, but this has not annoyed me in quite a number of weeks.
