[Bug 279406] Re: Shut Down dialog doesn't open in the foreground
This bug has become confusing, so I have opened bug #510771, about the dialog coming up without being active. -- Shut Down dialog doesn't open in the foreground https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279406 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 279406] Re: Shut Down dialog doesn't open in the foreground
This is on Lucid Lynx Alpha 1, running Gnome 2.29.3 under metacity. How to reproduce: 1) Begin with a clean desktop. 2) Open an instance of Nautilus. 3) Press the power button. Expected behavior: The shutdown dialog should come up in the foreground, active and ready to receive keyboard or mouse input. Actual behavior: The shutdown dialog comes up inactivated (about 9 times out of 10), either in the foreground or in the background. For me, most of the time it comes up in the foreground, but occasionally it ends up obscured by other windows. If it is in the background it is never active. For clarity, it doesn't matter whether I press the power button or press CTRL+ALT+DEL. -- Shut Down dialog doesn't open in the foreground https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279406 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Marking invalid /as a paper cut/, as this is not consistently reproducible (I cannot reproduce it, nor can mac_v), so it makes it difficult to fix. I also suspect that the sporadic nature of the problem means the technical details underneath the issue are non-trivial. ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Milestone: round-9 = None ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- Shut Down dialog doesn't open in the foreground https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279406 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@david: it works properly the first time but fails every subsequent time. to reproduce the bug do: 1) press power button to show menu (opens in foreground, has focus) 2) select suspend 3) press power button to resume the computer 4) enter password to unlock screen 5) press power button to show menu (opens in foreground, but does not have focus) you have to start with one iteration of suspend/resume to make it work. this is reproducible every time on multiple machines for me. have you tested it this way? -- Shut Down dialog doesn't open in the foreground https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279406 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 279406] Re: Shut Down dialog doesn't open in the foreground
I'm seeing this on Karmic, too. I'm annoyed by this behavior when I press CTRL+ALT+DEL to bring up the dialog. I understand the reasoning about preventing accidental shutdown if somebody inadvertently presses the power button, but I don't think the same reasoning should apply when the dialog is triggered by pressing a key combination. The code should differentiate between the two cases. But frankly, is it really that common for people to inadvertently bring up the shutdown dialog? Is it so common as to motivate this continually annoying behavior? -- Shut Down dialog doesn't open in the foreground https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279406 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 279406] Re: Shut Down dialog doesn't open in the foreground
Hey, I always thought that the shutdown dialog (which possibly should be called something else) should have an option to lock the screen, like in Windows XP. That option, which is non-destructive if selected by mistake, should be the default. In that way nobody would have to worry about the risk of dataloss. -- Shut Down dialog doesn't open in the foreground https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279406 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 279406] Re: Shut Down dialog doesn't open in the foreground
People keep reporting that they notice this behavior... But I have *never* noticed this. I'v used the FUSA/indicator-session and the system menu for shutdowns/logouts and this doesnt happen with those. Might this be a problem with triggering those actions using keyboard shortcuts? Can the people who have reported as noticing this behavior, comment on how they trigger the actions ?

[Bug 279406] Re: Shut Down dialog doesn't open in the foreground
Confirming what Michael said above ^ If I try to shut down my computer with either option, the dialog comes up and gains focus. The only instance in which this does not occur for me is when there is recent typing or mouse activity. I guess that I'd prefer to have the dialog gain focus regardless of the current state even at the risk of pressing a button accidentally. -- Shut Down dialog doesn't open in the foreground https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279406 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 279406] Re: Shut Down dialog doesn't open in the foreground
From what I can see, the bug is not in gnome-power-manager, but in gnome-session. I can see in original file gnome-session/gsm-logout-dialog.c at line 142: gtk_window_set_keep_above (GTK_WINDOW (logout_dialog), TRUE); There is no logic surrounding it that could cause this window to be not kept above. Also, this file (gsm-logout-dialog.c) is affected by debian/patches/80_new_upstream_session_dialog.patch, but I don't see anything that could cause the bug. -- Shut Down dialog doesn't open in the foreground https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279406 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 279406] Re: Shut Down dialog doesn't open in the foreground
This is working as intended originally, though perhaps the intention should change. What happens is that when you press the power button, if there has been keyboard or mouse activity recently, it opens in the background so you don't accidentally select one of the options. I'm not sure what the rationale is here exactly, perhaps that this dialog can be triggered automatically in some conditions, or that some power buttons are easily accidentally pressed, and so if you are in the middle of clicking or typing when this happens, you will shutdown/restart/etc unintentionally and perhaps lose data. Perhaps it should not perform this check and always come to the front. This is almost definitely a dupe of an older bug in which the behavior has been explained but I can't find it at the moment. -- Shut Down dialog doesn't open in the foreground https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279406 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
