Category: None Group: gtk bug #107320 >Status: Closed Resolution: Later Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: scenturion (scenturion) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) >Summary: winGaim popups \"always on top\" Initial Comment: This bug is a new bug created to triage the two bugs found listed in bug #1008213. This bug is to deal with "problem #2" described in that bug: ------------- begin snip ------------------- 2. Occasionally after mousing over a users name and getting the popup information box, it will "stick" in place on top of all other things and not go away unless show desktop is pressed. Non-reproduceable and random. v0.81 XP Professional SP3 -------------- end snip --------------------- Additionally, I have found this problem with many "popup" style windows. Holding the mouse pointer over an hyperlink, for example, will create a small window containing the actual URL contained in the hyperlink. I only use the AOL Instant messenger functions in GAIM, so it might be restricted to the AIM portion of the code. Steps to recreate bug: 1. Open a different program and maximize the window. 1. load GAIM. Connect to AIM (whatever login you desire) 2. add a user to your buddy list who is signed on (or use one that's already there). 3. place the mouse pointer over the user's name. Wait for pop up containing user info / online time / idle time. 4. Once the user info pop up shows up, do an "alt-tab" to the other program you loaded in step #1. 5. See that the "user info pop up" has not gone away. There's nothing you can do to make that window go away except give any gaim window focus and roll the mouse over it. Please feel free to email me if you wish additional information. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: scenturion (scenturion) Date: 2004-08-31 12:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1110538 Yeah, I know. The point was I wanted a place for everyone to complain about this without creating 10,000 "new" bugs. -Jonathan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kevin Stange (kstange) Date: 2004-08-30 16:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=726342 As you mentioned this is a known Windows GTK bug, therefore it is not something we can fix directly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: scenturion (scenturion) Date: 2004-08-25 10:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1110538 Ok. So I'm a moron. The above steps to recreate the bug do not work. Replace step 4 with "Once the user info pop up shows up, move the mouse pointer from the gaim window to the other program window." Note that the bug won't display if any of the following happens while you move the mouse away from gaim: 1. you move the mouse pointer over the popup 2. as you move the pointer, you can't have the pointer change from the arrow to the double arrow (change width/height of the window, looks like this: <-> ) on the edge of the gaim window. To make sure that you don't do #2, you have to move the mouse quickly so that the mouse pointer skips over the edge of the gaim window boundary. It might take a few tries to get the timing correct. Ok. I think i'm done now. -Jonathan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: scenturion (scenturion) Date: 2004-08-25 09:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1110538 I suspect that the bug is a duplicate of the following bug listed in the GTK bugzilla database, and they're still working on it. See it here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107320 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: scenturion (scenturion) Date: 2004-08-25 09:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1110538 Also: I'm running windows 2000 professional with all the windows updates / hotfixes (as of the date of this message) and Gaim 0.81 I downloaded and installed the "gaim-encryption v0.81" (not gaim-e) plugin. Currently active are the "auto-reconnect", "buddy state notification", "gaim-encryption", and "system tray icon" plugins. I am not running the super-latest version of gaim because the gaim-encryption plugin has not been updated (yet) to support gaim 0.82. -Jonathan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=680472&aid=1015975&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
