Description of problem: If a window is set to 'Always on top' using the right-click menu on the title bar, and then that window is minimised, the following strange behaviour is observed. In any other window, clicking a widget that causes another window to appear causes that window to appear behind. For example: in Firefox, clicking a 'share on facebook' link causes that new 'share' window to appear behind the window of the thing being shared. Another exmaple: Evolution message windows are opened behind the main window. Perhaps windows that are set 'Always on top' should have that setting cleared when minimised; or alternatively perhaps such windows should not be able to be minimised. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell-3.2.1-2.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open e.g. a gedit window 2.Right-click on title bar and select Always on top 3.Right-click on title bar and select Minimise 4.Now open a Firefox window and go to your favourite web site that allows Facebook sharing 5.Click on the Facebook symbol to share the page. Actual results: New window is added, but behind the Firefox window. No notification that the window is there. Expected results: Window appears above Firefox window.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '16'. 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 16'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 16 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" 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
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
