Description Joachim Breitner 2006-10-24 21:38:21 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Hi,

I'd like to be able to use dasher to enter text, but dasher seems to
insist on writing to the currently active window, which for me is
dasher, since my WM is set up to let the focus follow the mouse.

If possible, dasher should decline the focus, and if not, input the text
to the window that had the focus last.

At least, dasher should warn (e.g. in the status bar) when it is
controling itself, unless that is a valid use case.

Thanks,
Joachim

By the way, I have filed this to the debian BTS as well.

Comment 2 André Klapper 2021-05-26 09:57:58 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new enhancement request ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/dasher/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
