Description of problem: If any right-click menu is open screensaver doesn't take over the screen Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-screensaver-2.28.3-1.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mount CD 2. Right-click on CD icon on desktop but do not select anything 3. Do nothing for number of minutes while screensaver should kick-in 4. Nothing will happend, but if you close menu now by clicking somewhere you should see screen blocked by screensaver Actual results: Content of the screen remains present Expected results: In my case it should be Cosmos slideshow Additional info: Same behaviour for any GNOME panel applets (eg, just click Applications or Places or System and leave menu open)
Hello, Just a bit more information... I use GNOME My screensaver settings: Cosmos slideshow Regard computer as idle after: 5 minures Activate screensaver when computer is idle (ON) Lock screen when screensaver is active (ON) Thanks, Boris
A much faster approach to check: 1) Click "Applications to open menu 2) Hit Ctrl-Alt-L Expected behavior: close screen Actual result: nothing happens
I can reproduce this bug. This is a SECURITY bug. Timed screen locker MUST lock and hide the display at the specified time regardless of if a menu has focus or the system is in right pointer mode. Note that the system won't screen lock if the mouse pointer is off the edge when using synergy+ to drive another system. Joel
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '12'. 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 12'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 12 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
