Description Mark McLoughlin 2002-07-26 23:33:08 UTC 
This has been implemented in basep_widget_focus_in_event but because there
is no way of ignoring FocusChange events generated by grabs the panel is
unhidden when you go to 'ctrl-alt-tab' away from it because Metacity does a
grab on the panel.

More details in comments around 2002-05-31 in #84041.
Comment 1 Arvind S N 2002-07-27 08:36:51 UTC 
I guess Mark made a small typo, please look at bug #81041 for his
comments.
Comment 2 Kjartan Maraas 2005-01-04 20:41:16 UTC 
If this has high priority we should get it fixed, or drop the pri.
Comment 3 David William Price 2005-03-14 17:47:54 UTC 
This bug is almost three years old and seems related to 81041 so we have TWO
"major" "high priority" bugs for the same issue and they are both ancient. Can't
they be combined, wontfix'd or lowered in priority?

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-panel/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
