Extra focus event being fired by gnome-panel
Last modified: 2007-09-02 14:45:47 UTC
There is an extra state-changed event being fired from gnome-panel, when pressing a taskbar menu item (System, Places, Applications) after clicking or drag-n-dropping an app icon to the taskbar. Steps to reproduce: 1. drag any icon (like, f-spot or dia) to the top panel in any place or press an existing one, 2. go straight to Places menu and pressed it. Among the events fired by gnome-panel, there is a state-changed event that shouldn't be there: object:state-changed:focused(1, 0, None) source: [push button | Dia Diagram Editor Edit your Diagrams] application: [application | gnome-panel] Checking the gnome-panel code, I found no calls to atk_object_notify_state_change. Found this investigating bug # 374749.
I can see this. But at the same time you may find that when you click the "Place" menu, the first icon (probably Dia Diagram Editor) shows the focus indicator. This means something happens in GUI. So probably gnome-panel's bug.
Transfer to gnome-panel to see if they have any idea about this.
That's a known panel bug that has been here for ages. Help to fix it is welcome. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 308632 ***
