Description Dominique Leuenberger 2013-11-27 21:54:32 UTC 
If one presses ALT-F2 (run) and has the gnome-shell onscreen keyboard active, the run dialog appears as well as the on screen keyboard.

the OSK though is not clickable and is thus not usable to write into the run dialog (this likely applies to all modal dialogs)

No ModalDialog users set this so let's hardcode it.

I'd prefer it if we had Main.layoutManager.modalDialogGroup or similar which would always be layered correctly.

This way we can ensure that they're always stacked under the OSK.

Removed the visibility tracking as it's not needed.

Comment 15 Adam Williamson 2014-05-23 21:28:47 UTC 
the patches apply cleanly to 3.10 branch. may be worth backporting this fix to 3.10 upstream? I'll probably do it as a Fedora update anyway, but other distros may like it.
