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.
Cause
Pressing left button in a SDL application running in a
window mode and when using certain window manager
(like Fluxbox).
Consequence
Left-button event is not reported to the SDL application.
Fix
Window-leave notification dispatching to SDL window has
been fixed in case a parent window is not interested
in grab/ungrab events to handle window focus changes.
Result
Button press event is reported to the application even if
window manager takes care about grab events.
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #556608 +++
Description of problem:
There is a bug for this in debian:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=565788
And one in Wesnoth:
https://gna.org/bugs/index.php?14770
When I make a development build of Wesnoth on rawhide I see the problem as described in the wesnoth bug. Plain left click doesn't work. Left click with the right mouse button held down does work. I tested this with a version of wesnoth built from source on a rawhide system. I'll recheck with the version of wesnoth inherited from f12 and add a comment on that.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
SDL-1.2.14-1.fc13.i686
How reproducible:
I didn't do a lot of testing. It happens with openbox, but not with gnome.

I tested this some more and the f12 wesnoth inherited by rawhide shows the same issue. The problem did not show up with fvwm.
And I forgot to note, this is only a problem when running in windowed mode. In full screen things work OK.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 13 development cycle.
Changing version to '13'.

On the Wesnoth dev list it was reported that Debian has a fix for this (in SDL not Wesnoth).
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=565788#19
I look into this some more later to see if we have gotten a fix into SDL yet or if I need to reassign this bug to something SDL related.

There is a patch for this from upstream:
http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=894
Please apply.
--- Additional comment from ppisar on 2010-08-12 15:48:03 GMT ---
Patch verified with Wesnoth in Fluxbox on F13.
I will look if I can complete other bugs and then I will bump new SDL release.
--- Additional comment from updates on 2010-08-12 16:39:51 GMT ---
SDL-1.2.14-7.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14.

Maintainer summary:
