[Bug 387957] Re: Improve Save As Dialog Box (focus issues)
I don't think this aspect has been stated explicitely (although yaztromo hints at it), but my primary annoyance with this is that the save dialog helpfully selects the filename without the extension, making it is easy to type a new name with the right extension. However, when I first navigate to the target folder (which I almost always do first), I end up seeing the selected name right there and knowing that I cannot click there to get focus without losing the selection. This is quite frustrating. Therefore, dropping the selection when changing focus or changing the color of the selection, when the field does not have focus, will not fully solve the problem. However, if tabbing my way there was less painful, I think I might be happy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387957 Title: Improve Save As Dialog Box (focus issues) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/387957/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 387957] Re: Improve Save As Dialog Box (focus issues)
Sorry for the spamming. I forgot to mention my last idea: Clicking the label for the field could be a way to set focus to the field. I think it does this on Windows, but correct me if I'm wrong. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387957 Title: Improve Save As Dialog Box (focus issues) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/387957/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 387957] Re: Improve Save As Dialog Box (focus issues)
Playing a bit around, I found a few workarounds: 1) The thumb button, which I have never used, on my very old Logitech mouse will set the focus without touching the selection. However, not everybody has thumb buttons - particularly on laptops. Scrolling with the mouse wheel in the field does nothing. I guess, if it doesn't have any function already, it could be used as a way to set focus too? 2) Right clicking and selecting copy (as the most neutral option) does the trick too at the cost of replacing what you have in the copy/paste clipboard. Not good, if you were planning to hit Ctrl-C as soon as you get focus with the file name selected. A focus option in the context menu would solve this, but I guess, that one is hard to sell. 3) I just discovered that the good old Alt-N for the file name field (at least in my Danish version) still works. The underscore doesn't appear until you press alt, making it hard to discover. I guess that is a design decision - aesthetics? Also it takes around a second for the underscores to appear, which makes it feel quite slow and, IMO, even harder to discover. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387957 Title: Improve Save As Dialog Box (focus issues) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/387957/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 198951] Re: gnome-display-properties crashed with SIGSEGV in screen_info_new() - i855, fglrx, radeonhd
Like many others, I experience the crash with an 855 and the intel driver. Let me add that I can use xrandr 1.2 features using the command line tool, i.e. $ xrandr --output VGA --pos 0x200 extends the screen downwards to my external display. I have mostly used it for a clone configuration, but just tried this also, and it worked. Of course I cannot conclude that the support in the driver is complete and bug-free, but it seems to work pretty reliably. I would be a bit sad if this will never be supported in the graphical tool. -- gnome-display-properties crashed with SIGSEGV in screen_info_new() - i855, fglrx, radeonhd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198951 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
