------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-03 14:33 ------- I want to add that the flickering of windows happens with the Gimp, too, and with several other Gnome apps. If a desktop has more than one window of the Gimp, or it has a Gnome app plus Mozilla, WindowMaker will try to give the focus to all of them when you change into that dektop with a manual hot-key. The title bars of all the windows flicker, with WindowMaker apparently unable to decide which of the windows to give the focus to. It may be a problem in general for any window opened under WindowMaker. I have noticied with Gnome apps and Mozilla so far. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: In WindowMaker I have several desktops. I use a hot-key combination to change from one desktop to another. My WindowMaker is configured with Auto input focus mode (focus follows mouse), without automatic focus of new windows, and with "Opaque move" turned on. "open dialogs in same workspace as owners" is also turned on. In one of the desktops I have Mozilla. I can switch to and from that desktop without problems when there is only one mozilla window open. However, if there are two or more (a second Mozilla window, or a pop-up), then there is a problem when switching from another desktop to the desktop where Mozilla is. There is no problem switching from Mozillas desktop to another desktop. Moreover, the problem is only when switching manually with the hot-key. If switching by clicking on the desktop switcher of WindowMaker, the problem does not appear. The problem is the following: The mozilla windows flicker when I switch into this desktop. In order to reproduce this problem, the mouse must be located in a certain area of the screen before switching to Mozilla desktop. To reproduce: 1. Start a X session with WindowMaker (I do it from GDM, init 5) 2. Configure WindowMaker to have two desktops: A and B 3. In (A), open Mozilla. Use the hot-key to change to (B). 4. Now go back to (A). Mozilla does not flicker. 5. Now open a second Mozilla window. Use the hot-key to go to (B). 6. Use the hot-key to go back to (A). The title bar of the Mozilla windows flickers, and most of the times the mozilla window does not get redrawn until a while later. Before doing step (6), you will be in desktop (B). At this point, make sure that the mouse is in the area where the second Mozilla window is in the other desktop. In other words... once you switch into (A), the mouse ought to land on top of the second window. Otherwise the problem does not appear. On occasions, Mozilla will even crash after flickering for a short while. I have not found the same behaviour with other applications that have two windows open at once. I have not found this behaviour of Mozilla when I try the same experiment under KDE. Only on WindowMaker.
