Hi all,
(Sean, note that I first tried to add this bug to blackbox's SF.net page,
but the connection timed out.)
I have found an inconsistency in the focus behviours of the click-to-focus
and sloppy focus methods.
How to produce it:
Open two xterms (for example), and position them as per below:
+------------------+
| (1) unfocused |
| |
| +-------------------+
| | |
| | (2) focused |
+----------| |
| | *
| |
+-------------------+
The asterix in the above diagram represents the mouse cursor, which is
over the root window. Close the focused terminal (type 'exit' or
Control-D).
The mouse now is simply over the root window. In click-to focus mode,
xterm (1) is given the focus. In sloppy focus mode (irrespective of
whether autoraise is enabled), xterm (1) is not given the focus. The
bbkeys window cycling methods cannot give the focus to that xterm either.
The only way it can regain the focus is by moving the mouse over it, or by
clicking the arrows in the toolbar.
This inconsistency can prove to be quite annoying, especially when using
sloppy focus. It occurs under blackbox-0.62.0, as well as the 0.61.x
versions.
There is also one other thing I have found - I am not sure whether it is
unavoidable or not. When the focus model for blackbox is changed in its
config menu, the rootCommand is re-executed (which indicates that the
current style is being re-read). Should this happen?
Cheers,
Tim
