pager doesn't reset active window when using dnd to move window across workspace
Last modified: 2006-02-18 15:15:06 UTC
Distribution/Version: Mandriva cooker this is with libwnck 2.11.x cvs HEAD or witn 2.10.3. to reproduce : -set focus to "click to focus" -set task list to "display all workspace window" mode -set task list to "restore minimized window to original workspace" mode -open a window in current workspace -make sure you don't have any other opened window in this workspace (which could get focus) -using drag and drop on workspace switcher, move the visible window from current workspace to another workspace -then press the button for this window in the task list expected result : -switch to other workspace and activate the window result obtained : -nothing happens, click on button on task list doesn't do anything visible -worse, switching to other workspace, application is not visible (which is contradicting workspace mini view, which shows the application as visible) after some investigation, in wnck_tasklist_activate_task_window, when clicking on the button for activating the window, task->is_active is TRUE (which is correct), causing tasklist to minimize the window (which explains why switching to destination workspace doesn't display window).
This is a regression from GNOME 2.8 where this was working correctly.
This is a bug in the tasklist, IMHO. See bug 331661 which has a patch :-) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 331661 ***
