Description of problem: Trying to install an RPM package from external source on my Fedora 15 box (i.e., with gnome-shell), I got into a little trouble with the way how dialog "Additional confirmation required" (listing additional packages to be installed) behaves. In the situation this dialog was shown, I switched back to my web browser that was running maximized on the same desktop. When I tried to switch back, I could only see a main installer window that hadn't even react on anything (incl. closing from window title bar) but pressing ESC. The slave "Additional confirmation required" was kept hidden behind the maximized web browser, not brought forward as expected. I consider this behaviour disturbing, even though this may be encountered rarelly by the users. Also not sure, whether this is related to gnome-shell only, or if the problem is spread more widely. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-packagekit-3.0.0-5.fc15.x86_64 gnome-shell-3.0.2-4.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: constantly Steps to Reproduce: 1. stick with one particular desktop and run arbitrary application in maximized state here 2. try to install RPM package with some dependencies on other packages, e.g. https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm -- apparently, this has to be done in a user-way (double-clicking the RPM file and so) 3. accept the first dialog (Install?); "Additional confirmation required" dialog should appear 4. switch back to the maximized application that was in the background so far 5. switch pack to the installer ("Software Install" in the ALT-TAB menu, "Finished" window in "Activities" style windows overview) Actual results: Zombie-like main installer window -- only reacting on ESC key press. Expected results: After focusing/activating/clicking the main installer window, "Additional confirmation required" dialog is activated and brought forward (so it is sure it is visible to the user). Additional info: Not sure, maybe "Additional confirmation required" is not modal for reason, but then some pieces of such behaviour should be emulated as described.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '15' 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 15 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
