GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 662482
Alt-Tab dialog keyboard focus lost
Last modified: 2014-04-28 14:54:01 UTC
Tested on Ubuntu 11.10 When alt-tabbing to a window with a newly opened dialog window, the window (or at least the buttons) does not have keyboard focus. This is best demonstrated with an example: 1. Open the same file (any text file) in both GVim and gedit 2. Modify and save the file contents in gedit 3. Alt-tab to GVim (a "W11:Warning" dialog window will appear) 4. Try to close the dialog box by pressing the Return key What happens: Nothing. What should happen: The "OK" button on the dialog window should have keyboard focus, and pressing the Return key should close the dialog window.
It should be noted that I turned off the default new-style dialogs (because they can't be moved, which should probably be a bug in itself).
This was fixed several times, last time in bug 719824. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 719824 ***
