[Bug 393585] Re: Selected items do not change color when window is unfocused
This is a valid bug, but it is a bug in various themes rather than in Nautilus. For example, in DarkRoom, Elementary, Human-Clearlooks, and Shiki-Dust, the focused selection color is exactly the same as the unfocused selection color, which is nasty. In Ambiance, Radiance, Clearlooks, Dust, Glossy, and Human, the focused selection color is very nearly the same as the unfocused selection color, which is bad. In Mist, the focused selection color is exactly the same as the unfocused selection color, but the text color is different, which is weird. New Wave is the only theme I have installed where this bug does not exist at all: the focused selection color is peach while the unfocused selection color is grey. The problem also occurs in Ubuntu Software Center: it is difficult to tell which pane is focused, because the selected row in the navigation pane looks so similar regardless. ** Also affects: light-themes (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - Selected items do not change color when window is unfocused + Focused/unfocused selection colors are confusingly similar ** Description changed: + Problem occurs with: Ambiance, Radiance, Clearlooks, DarkRoom, Dust, Elementary, Glossy, Human, Human-Clearlooks + Does not occur with: New Wave + For example, open a Nautilus window and select an icon. Switch focus to the desktop by clicking on it. The window is not active but the icon in it retains the selected items color. It appears as though it is still selected and that it can be modified by keyboard shortcuts. By clicking on an icon on the desktop it changes color to be selected an now it appears that two items are selected. Several times I've deleted things by accident due to this, especially when I was new to GNOME. I would have several windows open with items selected. I would see the item I want selected and hit the delete key to remove it, only to realize that I had some other window focused where I had deleted something else. In Windows selected items in unfocused windows turn gray. I think it also adds another visual clue as to what window is focused besides just the title bar. Firefox and Thunderbird deliver the behavior I expect (probably because they are only faux GTK apps). Select some text in Firefox and then focus to another window and you will see that the selected text turns gray, indicating it is not active. Try that in gedit or evince and the text will remain blue. ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: Invalid = New -- Focused/unfocused selection colors are confusingly similar https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/393585 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 393585] Re: Selected items do not change color when window is unfocused
Hello Jackson, Could you please upload a screen shot? I've tried to reproduce the issue but it seems that selected text and icons do turn gray when not in focus for me. Also, can you please give the version of Ubuntu and GNOME that you are using. Thank you. ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- Selected items do not change color when window is unfocused https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/393585 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

This is rather a feature than a bug. The user selection should not be destroyed just by un-focusing the application, so that you can return to where you have stopped. Therefore marking as wishlist item. Feel free to forward it to the developers of the software by following the instructions Sebastien gave. ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Low = Wishlist -- Selected items do not change color when window is unfocused https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/393585 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

Not a paper cut since it is something more fundamental. ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: New = Invalid -- Selected items do not change color when window is unfocused https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/393585 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

Thank you for your bug report.
