From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: System Logs window will not respond to commands when reproducibility steps are followed. Realize this is fairly normal behaviour in a windowed system and perhaps not under the control of redhat-logviewer code. However, it could confuse a user in that the Preferences Window is completely hidden behind the System Window (and any other windows opened thereafter), which gives the appearance that System Logs is simply unresponsive. Discovered this by going to Alerts tab of Preferences, adding a string to flag, and the clicking back on the System Logs window to see if that had taken with the intent of going back and adding another flag (sort of using the Preferences Alert as a realtime editor on the flag display of System Log window). Realize this may not be the intent, but others may try to do this as well. Also recommend adding an "Add" button to the Add Alert Word dialog and the XFree86 Log markers (WW), (EE), (NI), and (??) to the default alert word list. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start log viewer via Start Menu -> System Tools -> System Logs 2.Go to Edit -> Preferences 3.When Preferences window comes up, click on System Logs window visible in the background 4. Attempt to use System Logs window (e.g. scroll log) Additional info:
Good point. I can set the transient for the window so it doesn't let you move it below the main window.
I have set all modal windows to transient as well. It should show up in rawhide shortly. Thanks for the report.
