Description Brian Wheeler 2011-01-31 18:46:54 UTC
Description of problem:

When the emacs window gets clicked in the menu bar to refocus the window, the cursor is locked until a menu is selected


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
emacs-common-23.2-7.fc14.x86_64
emacs-23.2-7.fc14.x86_64


How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open an X11 Emacs window
2. click to focus on another window
3. click the emacs window to the right of 'help' to refocus emacs
4. Note the cursor does not blink, and does not respond.
5. click on any menu in the menubar to get a dropdown and click somewhere else to close the menu
6. cursor is active again  

Actual results:

cursor is locked

Expected results:

when refocusing, the cursor should be active.

Additional info:

I'm pretty sure a variant of this was present in F13, but I couldn't figure out how to reproduce it.

FYI:  I cannot reproduce this in RHEL5 or RHEL6

Comment 2 Glenn Morris 2011-03-09 22:41:38 UTC
There are various known issues with Emacs menu-bars with recent GTK versions.
RHEL has an older GTK version and so does not exhibit the same problems.
Hopefully these are all fixed upstream for Emacs 23.3, eg

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 13:53:52 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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:
