GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 701992
Inconsistent behavior in File Roller when creating a new archive
Last modified: 2013-07-09 14:03:46 UTC
User can notice that opening two "new archive" windows will have inconsistent behavior - writing in the focused window actually writes in the unfocused window. Steps : 1. Boot System 2. Start File Roller 3. Click on new archive 4. From the top bar, select again "new archive" 5. Observe you have 2 "new archive windows", one focused and one unfocused 6. Try to click on the other unfocused window, observe you can't 7. Start writing on the focused window, observe that you actually write in the unfocused one Expected outcome You can focus any of the 2 windows and typing in the focused one does not show test in the unfocused window Actual outcome Can't switch windows and text is inputted into wrong window
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
I tested file-roller 3.8.3 and it still behave the same ... is that fix also integrated on gnome-3-8 branch ? if not why ? My expected behaviour will be to focus on the existing dialog
The problem is fixed only in current development version (3.9.3), I forgot to fix it for the 3.8 series, it will be available in version 3.8.4.
