** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ It's not possible to select the text in sticky notes in mate-applets
+ 1.18.x. Attempting to do it just grabs the sticky note window to move
+ it.
+
+ The fix for this issue is provided in the debdiffs attached to the
+ report.
+
+ Would be nice to have the fix backported to Zesty and Artful, as the
+ issue causes problems for users who use sticky notes daily.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ Steps to reproduce:
+
+ - double-click on stickynotes applet icon to create a new sticky note
+ - type any text into the sticky note window
+ - try to select the text with the mouse
+
+ Instead of selecting the text, the sticky note window will be grabbed to
+ move it, with mouse pointer changing accordingly.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ The fix only affects stickynotes applet and can't affect any other parts
+ of the desktop. Besides, the fix had been tested by upstream developers.
+
+ The only regression that could be introduced by the fix is the inability
+ to grab and move the sticky note window at all. However, it can still be
+ grabbed by the top part of the window, as before. It worked that way in
+ older versions (in GTK+2 builds), so it's what the users would expect.
+
+ [Original Description]
+
Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 17.04
I upgraded to Mate Desktop 1.18 from ppa
https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/mate-1.18. And i tested
this in 17.04 Ubuntu Mate. Same issue...
The sticky notes text can't be selected. The mouse pointer just grabs
the note instead of selecting any text.
-
- Any one else having same issue?
