Package: synaptic Version: 0.63.1 Severity: normal Tags: sid squeeze When the "downloading required packages" dialog finishes and "installing software" dialog appears, synaptic steals focus from other apps, even though no user input is necessary.
This is very irritating when leaving packages to download and install in the background, as it interrupts the user unnecessarily. Expected behavior would be for synaptic to do its thing and only raise focus or flash if a package install requires attention. I believe this bug applies to other synaptic dialogs too (e.g. view changelog dialog), however it is only the above behavior that really affects usability. A quick google suggests this bug has been around since 2007 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/synaptic/+bug/176002/) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages synaptic depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.9-6-4 0.7.25.3 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii apt-utils [libapt-inst-libc 0.7.25.3 APT utility programs ii hicolor-icon-theme 0.11-1 default fallback theme for FreeDes ii libatk1.0-0 1.30.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.10-4 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.11-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.3-7 GCC support library ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.4-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.0-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.0-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.0-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libstdc++6 4.4.3-7 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libvte9 1:0.24.0-2 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii libxml2 2.7.7.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii rarian-compat [scrollkeeper 0.8.1-4.1 Documentation meta-data library (c Versions of packages synaptic recommends: pn deborphan <none> (no description available) ii gksu 2.0.2-2+b1 graphical frontend to su ii libgnome2-perl 1.042-2 Perl interface to the GNOME librar ii menu 2.1.43 generates programs menu for all me Versions of packages synaptic suggests: pn dwww <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
