Title:
It should be possible to make Dialog respect its parent
Status in “ubuntu-ui-toolkit” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
In the future unity8 will rotate instead of having apps rotating
themselves. So that launcher, edge gestures, panel and application UI
all have the same orientation and rotate together nicely. This
includes the dialogs shown by unity8, such as the power dialog that
pops up when you long-press the power button.
This is unity8's hierarchy:
// the root item
OrientedShell {
// the actual Shell UI, which gets rotated
Shell {
rotation: someAngle
Loader {
Dialog {
}
}
}
}
So we need the Dialogs to keep their parents so that they carry on the
transformations applied to Shell, instead of being a sibling of it.
This should be simple to accomplish as Dialog is an Item, and items
are expected to respect their parents instead of reparenting
themselves. So I'm just asking Dialog to *do less*.
Dialog is an Item and thus inherits its public API. Items have a
parent property that is free for the user to manipulate it. Dialog
should respect it.
Otherwise we will have to poke into Dialogs private API to achieve
that, which is a fragile approach as that can break at any future
release without warnings. Another bad option would be forking Dialog
code, copying it over to unity8 code base (as we already do for the
splash screen feature).
