GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 676218
Using the color Picker blocks any input for composer
Last modified: 2012-12-19 13:54:05 UTC
Hello, It seems that color picker in this version of evolution has a side effect. No other buttons or actions can be performed after clicking in this component. It seems evolution continues to answer but cannot press any button. Use case: 1.- Open a new e-mail for editing 2.- Click on the color picker (just click or even long press and select color). 3.- After that you can't write nor press anything in the evolution windows. You can try to close the window with ALT+F4 but it shows a message saying that a e-mail is currently on edition and if you want to save, cancel or exit. But since you cannot press any button you cannot continue. Also you can opt to close this window also. But it will return to your unstable editing windows where you can do nothing but ALT+F4. And you enter a loop. The only solution is to kill -9 because kill alone will show you the message with the three options. So evolution is responding but something weird happens in the backstage.
I can confirm this in the HTML mail composer for the toolbar below the subject. gtk3-3.2.4-1.fc16.i686, evolution-3.2.3-3.fc16.i686, no output in terminal.
It looks like it completely captures any keyboard input. I cannot use the keyboard in the main window anymore after closing the mail composer.
Created attachment 214336 [details] [review] gtkhtml patch for gtkhtml; Something weird about ungrab on keyboard, it seems. This patch fixes it. As a workaround, one can, after picking a color, click on the combo for the font size and that makes the keyboard work again.
Created commit 8b7de7a in gtkhtml master (4.5.2+) Created commit 82e0781 in gtkhtml gnome-3-4 (4.4.3+)
The patch works for color picker, but let's fix also Emotion Icons, which locks keyboard input too. As a workaround, changing to the second formatting and back fixes the keyboard input.
Created attachment 216179 [details] [review] gtkhtml patch ][ for gtkhtml; I overlooked same pattern in gtkhtml-face-tool-button.c, thus this patch adds the fix there as well (if applying yourself, be sure you use both patches).
Created commit 9118bd6 in gtkhtml master (4.5.3+) Created commit 5e86bc3 in gtkhtml gnome-3-4 (4.4.3+)
